Long-distance runner Gulveer emerged as the star of the day, producing a remarkable performance to claim silver in the men's 10,000m. His silver ended India's long wait for a medal in the event, marking the country's first-ever podium finish in the men's 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games. Earlier, Harjinder Kaur opened India's account on Day 6 with a silver medal in the women's 69kg weightlifting event. Harjinder also enjoyed a memorable outing by rewriting the Commonwealth Games snatch record twice before eventually improving on the bronze medal she had won at the Birmingham 2022 Games. At the end of Day 6, India occupied ninth place in the medal standings with 12 medals — two gold, seven silver and three bronze.
