The biggest moment came through para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar, whose bronze medal in the men&#8217;s heavyweight event earned India its first medal of the Games. His achievement was made even more remarkable by the challenges he overcame, turning years of perseverance into a memorable podium finish.<\/p>\n<p>Day 2, however, was also a story of fine margins. Ashok Malik narrowly missed a medal with a fourth-place finish in para powerlifting, while para swimmer Karthik Budigina fell just short of the podium after finishing fourth in the men&#8217;s 100m freestyle S13 final. Swimmer Srihari Nataraj&#8217;s campaign ended in the semi-finals, but boxer Jadumani Singh ensured there was more good news by cruising into the pre-quarterfinals with a unanimous-decision victory.<\/p>\n<p>India&#8217;s lawn bowls squad continued to impress as Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinki Singh secured back-to-back wins in the women&#8217;s pairs competition, while Putul Sonowal showcased remarkable resilience to register his second successive victory in the men&#8217;s singles. Their consistent performances have quietly emerged as one of India&#8217;s brightest stories in Glasgow so far.<\/p>\n<p>Attention now shifts to another busy day featuring action across artistic gymnastics, boxing, bowls, swimming and the debut of India&#8217;s women&#8217;s 3&#215;3 wheelchair basketball team at these Games. Boxer Sachin Siwach begins his campaign in the men&#8217;s 60kg division, the women&#8217;s artistic gymnastics team looks to progress through qualification, and the lawn bowls contingent aims to maintain its unbeaten run. While Day 3 may not offer many guaranteed medal opportunities, it promises several crucial contests that could shape India&#8217;s campaign in the days ahead.
