India slipped one place down to the seventh spot in the Commonwealth Games 2022 medal tally, despite adding five medals on Day 6 in Birmingham. It was India’s best medal showing in this edition’s Commonwealth Games on Day 6, but it was not enough to keep India in sixth place. 

Tulika Maan clinched a silver medal on Tuesday in the final of the women’s +78 kg category, in one of the highlights of Day 6 for India. The Indian judoka suffered a defeat at the hands of Sarah Adlington of Scotland and thus had to settle with silver.
