Indian tennis star Sania Mirza congratulated the country’s contingent for their magnificent performance at the recently-concluded Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.
India finished 4th in the medal tally with 22 Gold, 15 Silver and 23 Bronze medals and with a total of 61 medals at the Commonwealth Games.
“What an incredible CWG it has been for us at Birmingham this year. Congratulations to the entire contingent, all the medal winners and their teams involved in making all these champions .. and in making India a champion the entire country is so proud of you. Jai Hind,” tweeted the tennis star.
India has delivered its fifth-best performance of all time in their Commonwealth Games history, with their best being a total of 101 medals when the games were held at home in 2010. However, achieving 61 medals this time around holds a lot of significance since shooting, which is India*s most successful discipline historically with 135 medals, was not included in the games this time. The numbers could have been way higher had it been included.
The Commonwealth Games 2022 came to an end with a stunning closing ceremony at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham on Monday. The Commonwealth Games flag was presented to the Governor of Victoria. The state of Victoria, Australia will be the next host of the Commonwealth Games in 2026.
