Jadumani Singh's sorcery in CWG 2026 continues

Haoseb came out firing in the opening frame, attempting to impose himself early with a higher work rate and aggressive pressure. Jadumani, however, remained unfazed, closing the round with a crisp flurry of clean connections that convinced all five judges to hand him the initial lead. The Namibian maintained his forward movement in the second round, but Jadumani's patient counter-striking continued to neutralize the onslaught, earning him another unanimous round on the scorecards.

With the victory virtually secured heading into the final three minutes, Jadumani put on a clinic in game management. He maintained strict defensive discipline while punishing Haoseb's increasingly desperate attacks with sharp counters, cruising through the closing stretch to lock in yet another 5-0 unanimous decision win and secure his place in the gold medal match.

Jadumani, Preeti, Ankush, Jaismine, Arundhati in final

By punching his ticket to the men's 55kg final against Australia’s Jye Dixon, Jadumani Singh added his name to a growing roster of Indian title contenders in Glasgow. He becomes the fifth boxer from the nation to secure a spot in a gold medal bout at these Games, joining fellow finalists Preeti Pawar, Ankush Panghal, Jaismine Lamboria, and Arundhati Choudhary.

Jadumani's march to the final further bolsters an Indian campaign that has already collected 17 medals (three gold, nine silver, and five bronze). Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu (women's 48kg), shot putter Sharmila Dhankar (women's F57), and sprinter Dilip Gavit (men's 100m T47) earned the three top-step finishes. Meanwhile, India’s podium total has been built on a wave of silver medal performances—from athletes like Rishikanta Singh, Muthupandi Raja, Gyaneshwari Yadav, Sarvesh Kushare, Valluri Ajaya Babu, Harjinder Kaur, Gulveer Singh, Murali Sreeshankar, Mohammed Basil, and Lovepreet Singh—alongside bronze-medal runs from Jhandu Kumar, Bindyarani Devi, Shilpa K Shyla, and Seema Kaliramna.
