The Indian lawn bowls team bagged a historic gold medal at the Commonwealth Games on Tuesday, a day after getting the country hooked to the rarely-followed game with their inspiring show. The Indian quartet of Lovely Choubey (lead), Pinki (second), Nayanmoni Saikia (third) and Rupa Rani Tirkey (slip) beat South Africa 17-10 in the women's fours final. It was India's maiden final appearance in the women's fours format of the competition. It is Indian contingent's fourth gold and first outside the weightlifting arena.

Lawn Bowls: Women's Fours -- Indian team beat South Africa 17-10 to win a historic gold in lawn bowls. It's India's 4th gold of the CWG 2022, and it took their tally to 10 medals -- 4 gold, 3 silver & 3 bronze.

Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) president Sahdev Yadav on Tuesday claimed that Punam Yadav competed despite "not being fully fit", lashing out at the lifter after her disastrous outing at the Commonwealth Games. Punam was disqualified in the women's 76kg category after failing in all her three clean and jerk attempts. The reigning CWG champion in 69kg category, however, was in silver medal winning position after snatch, where she lifted 98kg in her third attempt. Clearly disappointed with her show, the national federation chief said that the lifter competed with an injury to her knee.
