After getting back in the Olympic fold, a 215-strong Indian contingent is hoping for a strong performance at the 20th Commonwealth Games.
India finished second behind Australia with a record 101 medals haul in New Delhi, in a Games marred by corruption scandals and construction delays, but the Delhi Games triggered an ascent in sports achievements with another record-breaking show in the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, where India won 65 medals.
