Star Speedster Hima Das fail to qualify for women’s 200m final and Indian Tennis Table Star Monica Batra also falls short to qualify for the semi final. Even Indian women’s hockey team put up a great show and goes down a 0-3 loss against Australia in shootout in semifinal.
Day 9 at the commonwealth will be very eventful for the Indian contingent. As boxers and wrestlers will advance themselves for a medal assurance for the country.
