Commonwealth Games 2022 kick off: Here's India's schedule for today

The 2022 Commonwealth Games was officially declared open, after a grand opening ceremony was held at theAlexander Stadium in Birmingham on Thursday.

The Commonwealth Games are a quadrennial international multi-sport event among athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations. The event was first held in 1930, and, with the exception of 1942 and 1946 (cancelled due to World War II), have successively run every four years since.

India, the Commonwealth’s most populous country, is not generally known as a sporting powerhouse — except for cricket — but it has regularly performed well at the Games.

Its athletes came third in the medals table behind hosts Australia, and England, at the Gold Coast and were in the top five at the previous four.
