The Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2026 are underway in Scotland, with India receiving widespread acclaim for its strong performances. Haryana\u2019s Sakshi Chaudhary has advanced to the pre-quarterfinals in the 51 kg Women\u2019s Boxing category, as announced in a release.<\/p>\n
Chaudhary secured her place by defeating Botswana\u2019s seasoned boxer and former Commonwealth Games medalist Lethabo Modukanele with a unanimous 5-0 decision. Her defensive discipline and sharp counterattacks were noted by sports fans, as she demonstrated flawless technical skills and swift footwork throughout the match.<\/p>\n
On her victory, Sakshi Chaudhary stated, \u201cRepresenting India at the Commonwealth has been my dream, and I\u2019m not going to miss a single chance of making my motherland proud by giving my best. I have a now-or-never type of approach. I began this journey with a proper disciplinary routine and practice. Yesterday, when they announced my name as a qualifying contestant, at that moment all I could think of was my country, and all I saw was the Tiranga that was held high in that stadium. It was not Sakshi alone who qualified; it was India who stepped forward in winning the 51Kgs game. This journey was not easy; I have had my struggles, but all I know is to never give up!! I\u2019m focusing on the quarters right now\u2026 Also, thanking everyone for your warm wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sakshi\u2019s pre-quarterfinal performance impressed many, with her clean punches, evasive movements, effective counters, and strategic defence highlighting her match. Attention now turns to how she will perform in the subsequent rounds.<\/p>\n
