Apart from Sony Network, DD Sports will also live stream the CWG 2022 opening ceremony in India.

India has sent a strong 300-plus contentment including 200-plus athletes at the CWG 2022. However, the Indian contingent were dealt with a major blow when Olympic champion and World Championships silver medallist Neeraj Chopra pulled out of the Games due to a groin injury.     

Shooting has been India’s go-to event when it comes to medals but with the exclusion of the sport in this edition, the country has to depend on traditionally strong disciplines like wrestling, badminton, weightlifting, boxing, table tennis and athletics.

The Commonwealth Games 2022 Opening Ceremony will be held at the Alexander stadium on July 28. July 29 will mark the official Day 1 of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.
