India won six medals on the final day of Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 Monday to finish fourth in the overall standings behind Australia (178), England (176), and Canada (92). In the previous edition (Gold Coast 2018), India had won 66 to finish third. This time, India's medal haul was severely dented by the absence of shooting. The final day started with table tennis star Sathiyan Gnanasekaran winning the men's singles bronze medal play-off. It was followed by three gold medals from the badminton court, with PV Sindhu (women's singles), Lakshya Sen (men's singles), and the pair of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy (men's doubles) winning their respective finals. Veteran table tennis player Achanta Sharath Kamal won the men's singles final but the men's hockey team was humbled by Australia in the final. Catch Commonwealth Games 2022 day 11 highlights:

This win is very speacial for Lakshya Sen. He had an injury a month before. In the final he lost the first game but came back strongly in the final two games to take away the gold. It only proves ho mentally strong the 20-year-old is.
What a SENsational Gold medal for @lakshya_sen in his very first CWG and first major international multi sport event for ๐ฎ๐ณ. He had a shoulder injury 1 month before the CWG & worked so hard to come back. So happy and proud of this young boy. ๐ธ๐ฅ pic.twitter.com/2sAaLTIBkF

What a journey it has been for the girl from Hyderabad. Interestingly, Michelle had beaten the 2019 World Champion way back in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014.

Star paddler Achanta Sharath Kamal and world champion boxer Nikhat Zareen have been named India's flagbearers during the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games 2022. The 40-year-old Sharath has a rich haul of four medals in this edition of the Games, having won the men's team and mixed team gold and a silver in the men's doubles event. He will also be playing in the men's singles gold medal match later in the day. Zareen, on the other hand, won the gold medal in the light flyweight event (50kg) on Sunday. Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and men's hockey captain Manpreet Singh were the flagbearers for the opening ceremony.
Michelle Li is not here to throw it away. After Sindhu led 4-2 at one stage, the Canadian is giving the Indian a tough time at 7-7. However, Sindhu won the next two points to lead 9-7 at this moment.
Blow to India before men's hockey final against Australia. Midfielder Vivek Sagar Prasad has picked up a minor knee injury and won't be available for the gold medal match. He has been advised rest.
Back-to-back gold medal badminton matches for India. PV Sindhu to take the court first followed by Lakshya Sen. The men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will follow then. Can it be three gold for Indian badminton? Stay Tuned
Australia have never lost a men's hockey final at Commonwealth Games since sport's inclusion in 1998. India have faced Australia at Commonwealth Games thrice (including 2010 and 2014 finals) and lost on all occasions.
All eyes on GOLD today! ๐๐ฅ
