India's impressive run in weightlifting at the 2026 Commonwealth Games continued on Sunday (local time) as Raja Muthupandi produced a determined performance to clinch the silver medal in the men's 65kg category in Glasgow. His podium finish marked India's third medal of the day, with all three coming from weightlifting. The 26-year-old lifter finished with a combined total of 286kg, registering 126kg in the snatch and 160kg in the clean and jerk. His effort was enough to secure second place behind Malaysia's Aznil Bin Bidin Muhamed, who lifted a Commonwealth Games record total of 299 kg to claim his third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal after triumphs in Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022.
