India’s Medal Position After Day 9

The Times of India reported on 28 September 2026 that India won eight medals across athletics, shooting and kurash on Day 9. The haul included four silver and four bronze medals, with no new gold, so India’s gold count stayed unchanged.

After Day 9, India had 45 medals in total — four gold, 20 silver and 21 bronze — and remained 12th in the overall standings. Medal tables rank countries by gold medals first, which is why a large silver-and-bronze haul did not move India into the top 10.

Indian Medalists on 28 September

• Yashvir Singh — silver, men’s javelin (85.72m)
• Rohit Yadav — bronze, men’s javelin (84.35m)
• Murali Sreeshankar — silver, men’s long jump (8.07m)
• Gulveer Singh — silver, men’s 1500m (3:36.72)
• Parul Chaudhary — bronze, women’s 5000m (15:14.61)

• Esha Singh — silver, women’s 25m pistol (38 hits)
• Pincky Balhara — bronze, women’s -78kg kurash

India’s best moment came in the men’s javelin, where Yashvir Singh and Rohit Yadav both reached the podium while defending champion Neeraj Chopra was absent. Yashvir’s 85.72m was a personal best for silver; Rohit took bronze with 84.35m. Sri Lanka’s Rumesh Pathirage won gold with 88.55m. In shooting, Esha Singh matched China’s Xiao Jiaruixuan at 38 hits in the women’s 25m pistol but lost the gold in a shoot-off.
