India had a brilliant Day 5 of the ongoing Commonwealth Games as India first won a gold in the women’s four lawn bowls event, and this was the country’s first medal in the sport. A few hours later, the men’s table tennis team brought the top laurel home after defeating Singapore in the men’s table tennis team event. Weightlifter Vikas Thakur also won silver in the men’s 96kg category. The Indian badminton side also won a silver medal in the mixed team event after coming up short in the final against Singapore.
