In the overall medals tally, India jumped to third spot with 10 gold, four silver and five bronze medals after another fruitful day across sports, which fetched three gold, two silver and a bronze. Mehuli also shot a Games record score (247.2) in the process, but missed out on gold in a shoot-off with Singapore's Martina Lindsay Veloso. On the final day of weightlifting competition, Pardeep came agonisingly close to a gold but eventually settled for a silver after a close contest with Samoa's Sanele Mao. The 23-year-old went for a 211kg lift, which would have been a new Commonwealth and Games record in clean and jerk, but could not pull it off in his final attempt. In the 400m women's event, Hima Das qualified for the semi-finals after finishing third in her heat.
