Shooters Heena Sidhu and Jitu Rai are among favorites to win gold medal at Commonwealth Games 2018.
Indian athletes, 227 of them, across 15 sports disciplines, will be gunning for podium finishes when they begin their Commonwealth Games campaigns from April 7 in Gold Coast, Australia.
The expectations are high on the Indian contingent, given the country's past success at the quadrennial multi-sport spectacle. Notably, the size of the Indian Commonwealth team is 12 more than the one that took part in the 2014 edition in Glasgow.
Athletics and boxing have seen a spike in the number of participants when compared to the 2014 edition. The athletics contingent size has been increased to by five to 37 while an extra quota for a female boxer was made available.
Meanwhile, seven para-athletes will be representing India in three disciplines — Para Powerlifting, Para Table Tennis and Para Swimming.
India will be looking to improve their medal tally in the upcoming edition. The Asian nation finished fifth behind England, Australia, Canada and Scotland with 64 medals, including 16 Golds.
The likes of PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth (badminton), Mary Kom (boxing), Jitu Rai and Mehuli Ghosh (shooting), Neeraj Chopra (athletics) are considered favorites to finish on the top step of the podium in Gold Coast.
The 21st edition of Commonwealth Games will be held in Gold Coast, Australia
