During the function, Khanna lauded the performance of the Indian athletes, who bagged a rich haul of 61 medals to finish fourth in the standings, despite shooting’s absence from the multi-sport event.
India had bagged 16 medals in shooting alone at the 2018 Gold Coast CWG.
India won 22 gold, 16 silver and 23 bronze medals. The fourth-place finish was India’s best showing overseas.
