Gold Coast: Shooter Anish Bhanwala (15) became the youngest Indian to win a gold in 25m rapid fire pistol in the Gold Coast Games on Friday. With this, India’s medal tally rose to 42, including 17 gold, 11 silver and 14 bronze.

Tejaswini Sawant another gold in the shooting event while Anjum Moudgil settled for a silver.

In wrestling, Bajrang Punia (65kg) won gold while Mausam Khatri (97kg) and Pooja Dhanda (57kg) picked up silver medals. Divya Kakran (68kg) notched a bronze.
India men’s team also went out of gold medal contention after it lost to New Zealand 3-2.

But, in a major embarrassment for India, two track and field athletes were ordered out of the Commonwealth Games for breaching the event’s ‘No Needle policy’. The athletes K T Irfan and triple jumper V Rakesh Babu were sent home.
