Sharmila Dhankar wins historic gold as India secures six medals on Day 4; Sarvesh, Ajaya and Gyaneshwari take silver
Sharmila Dhankar captured a historic gold on Day 4 of the Commonwealth Games 2026 as India amassed six medals that day. Sarvesh, Ajaya and Gyaneshwari each earned silver, following Mirabai Chanu’s earlier success at the Games in Glasgow.
Day 4 proved to be India’s most successful session of the competition, with the national contingent adding a half-dozen podium finishes to its tally. Sharmila Dhankar’s top-place result stood out among the haul, while three athletes — Sarvesh, Ajaya and Gyaneshwari — finished in second position. The momentum built on the fact that Mirabai Chanu had previously secured the first gold in Glasgow for India.
Sharmila Dhankar’s gold was described as historic in reports from the Games and formed the centerpiece of India’s performance on the fourth day. The achievement joined other medal-winning efforts that combined to produce an unusually productive day for the Indian team. Organisers and followers of the meet noted the concentration of medals on a single day as a high point for the delegation.
Sarvesh, Ajaya and Gyaneshwari each reached the silver medal podium on Day 4, contributing significantly to the six-medal total. Their second-place finishes were among the multiple successes collected by India during the session. The three silver medals, alongside Dhankar’s gold, underlined the depth of podium finishes on that day.
India’s six medals on Day 4 followed the earlier milestone when Mirabai Chanu won the first gold in Glasgow, giving the contingent a strong platform in the competition. That initial top-step result preceded the surge of medals that defined the fourth day. Coverage of the Games highlighted the sequence of podiums as a notable stretch of positive outcomes for the Indian athletes.
Collectively, the results from Day 4 represent India’s most successful single day at the Commonwealth Games 2026. Sharmila Dhankar’s historic gold and the silver medals claimed by Sarvesh, Ajaya and Gyaneshwari were central to that achievement and to the Indian team’s overall showing in Glasgow.
