The Indian women&rsquo;s team made history on Sunday afternoon by clinching the bronze medal after defeating New Zealand in a penalty shootout.
Savita Punia&rsquo;s side became the first Indian women&rsquo;s team in 16 years to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games. India had last won the silver at the 2006 games in Melbourne. Even in 2018, India had come close but they lost to England in the bronze medal match.
It was Salima Tete&rsquo;s goal that had given India a 1-0 lead in the second quarter. While India were all set for a victory in regulation time, a penalty stroke for the Kiwis with less than 20 seconds left on the clock threatened to derail India&rsquo;s hopes.
And New Zealand did score the goal to force a penalty shootout, but the Women in Blue led by Captain Savita Punia in goal ensured they didn&rsquo;t commit the same mistakes they did against Australia and ended the country's long wait for a podium finish after 16 years.

Many expected Indian athletes to dominate in wrestling or boxing but not many saw them fetch medals in track and field events at Commonwealth Games 2022. But the athletes proved their doubters wrong.
Avinash Sable, who had to walk a distance of 12km from home to school and back from the time he was 8, made the world sit up and take notice of him when he won India its 4th medal in athletics at the Birmingham Games by clinching silver in the men's 3000-metre steeplechase. 
What made it even more special was the fact that Kenyan runners had ensured a podium clean-sweep in the event in the last six editions of the CWG. Sable ended their hegemony with a breathtaking run in the final. 
After his personal best timing helped Sable end up on the podium, he agreed that he wanted to prove it's not just the Kenyans and Ethiopians who win in long-distance races. An Indian can win too. And he surely did it in style. If not the biggest, it certainly is one of the biggest achievements for an Indian at this year's CWG.

&nbsp;

Tears rolling down wrestler Pooja Gehlot's eyes may make one feel that she failed to win a medal at Commonealth Games 2022 but she was upset for settling for bronze and not clinching gold in the Women's 50kg Freestyle Wrestling.
There was a time when winning an international medal was a far-fetched dream for many Indian athletes but here we are today where just ending up on the podium isn't enough for them.
It's gold or nothing for Indian athletes as winning a silver or a bronze doesn't satisfy their hunger. Pooja's comments sparked a debate whether no one remembers about those who finish 2nd & 3rd and the gold medallist get the maximum recognition?
Well, as India dominate in many disciplines like wrestling and weightlifting and now even win medals in track and field events at the commonwealth Games, settling for a bronze may not be that big a deal now. However, in an event like the Olympics, which is the grandest stage of them all for the athletes, ending up on the podium is a way bigger achievement irrespective of the colour of the medal.

Virat should bring back Kuldeep & Chahal: Ganguly

Former India captain Sourav&nbsp;Ganguly&nbsp;has put his weight behind India's wrist-spin duo of Kuldeep&nbsp;Yadav and Yuzvendra&nbsp;Chahal. In his column for The Times of India Dada wrote that&nbsp;Virat needs to bring back the wrist spinners into the T20 format. Ganguly&nbsp;also hoped that&nbsp;Chahal was only rested to give opportunity to others. He is a must for India in the shortest format, dada added. Both Kuldeep&nbsp;and Chahal&nbsp;were dropped from the squad as part of an experiment where the team management wanted to try out all-rounders&nbsp;to further strengthen the batting.&nbsp;

It’s Super Sunday for India! And the medals just keep coming.
India’s Eldhose Paul & Abdulla Aboobacker made history by securing a 1-2 finish in the men’s triple jump event at the Commonwealth Games. 
Paul, who breached the 17-metre mark for the first time in his career, couldn’t have chosen a better moment to do so as his jump of 17.03 fetched him Gold. Even in the World Championships Final, Paul’s best jump was 16.79 metres.
Paul’s statemate Abdulla Aboobacker landed the silver with a close second-place finish. Aboobacker recorded a jump of 17.02 metres.
It very well could have been a 1-2-3 for India but Praveen Chithravel missed out on the bronze by just 0.03 metres. He finished fourth behind Bermuda’s Perinchief. 
Nevertheless, it was a big moment for the Indian track and field contingent, who last won a medal in the triple jump back in 2014, when Arpinder Singh had bagged the bronze medal in Glasgow.
