New Delhi: With three days to go for the end of the Commonwealth Games, India still have a great chance of finishing ahead of England and retain their second position in the medals tally.
India can expect a few more golds from their shuttlers who have been in supreme form throughout the competition.
Saina Nehwal who is a clear favourite to go all the way in the women's singles event is already through to the semi finals.
In the men's singles event, Chetan Anand and P Kashyap are in the last four and it would be a dream final if the two take on each other in the title clash.
Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa have reached the semis of the women's doubles event and will be hoping for some raucus crowd support to inspire them to ultimate glory.
The men's hockey team also have an outside chance of going for gold although they have to first get past England in the semi-finals. They will then have to hope for some magic in the final against Australia who are going to be their most likely opponents.
As far as table tennis is concerned, Achanta Sharath Kamal who is one of the favourites in the men's singles event has the company of compatriots A. Amalraj and Soumyadeep Roy who have joined him in the last eight.
Kamal and Soumyajit Saha are also in the doubles semi finals along with countrymen Amalraj and Roy.
Three Indians have made to the finals in the boxing ring: Suranjoy Singh (52kg), Manoj Kumar (64kg) and Paramjeet Samota (+91kg).
The Indian shooters who have made their country proud with a bagful of gold medals will have another crack at gold in the form of Samaresh Jung.
Jung will be in action at the Karni Singh Shooting Range on Tuesday in the 25 metre standard fire pistol category.
