India finally got itself featured on the Commonwealth Games leaderboard as para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar brought the first medal for the country in the 2026 edition of the tournament. The 28-year-old won the bronze medal in the men's heavyweight event on Friday night. On the other hand, Sudhir, the other participant in the event, finished sixth.
In the men's heavyweight final, Jhandu appeared in Group B. He first lifted 181 kg in his first attempt and then went on to lift 190kg in his next attempt. These two lifts were enough for him to race ahead in the leaderboard. However, he wasn't able to lift a whopping 196kg on his third and final attempt, and his total points tally remained at 130.9.
