India's six-medal haul on Day 5 of the Commonwealth Games lifted the country to eighth in the standings with 10 medals (2 gold, 5 silver, 3 bronze). Sharmila Dhankar's historic para-athletics gold led the charge, supported by three silvers and two bronzes. Australia remained atop the table with 59 medals, ahead of England (32) and Canada (21).

India enjoyed a memorable day at the Commonwealth Games as Sharmila Dhankar became the country's first-ever para-athletics gold medallist, while Sarvesh Kushare, Valluri Ajaya Babu and Gyaneshwari Yadav won silver medals. Bindyarani Devi added bronze, Indian boxers advanced to the quarterfinals, but athletics and swimming saw mixed results, with Gurindervir Singh and Tejas Shirse enduring disappointing outings.
