India's CWG Golden Heroes

The Indian contingent had a memorable outing at Glasgow 2014 where it bagged an impressive 64 medal haul - 15 gold, 30 silver and 19 bronze - that ensured a fifth place finish in the leaderboard for India after England, Australia, Canada and hosts Scotland. It was India's third best showing in the Commonwealth Games after the 100 plus bounty at home in Delhi four years back and the 69 medals they picked up at Manchester in 2002. The final day's hero for India was second seed P Kashyap, who emulated former champions Prakash Padukone (1978) and Syed Modi (1982) to win the men's singles title. He became the first Indian man to win badminton gold at the Games after 32 years.
