India’s boxing team did very well at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Because the rules give a bronze medal to both boxers who lose in the semifinals, India is sure to get at least eight bronze medals.
The boxers who made it to the semifinals were Ankush Yadav, Sakshi Chaudhary, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach and Narender Berwal.
They beat opponents from countries like Northern Ireland, New Zealand, Botswana, Seychelles and Samoa.
The matches were close and exciting, and the Indian boxers showed great skill and teamwork.
Ankush Yadav, Sakshi Chaudhary, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach and Narender Berwal all advanced to the semifinals, guaranteeing at least five bronze medals.
