Prime Minister Narendra Modi: In a bid to rally support for Indian athletes participating in the 2026 Commonwealth Games, sport minister Mansukh Mandaviya, along with the Indian diaspora organised a cycling event under the 'Cheer 4 Bharat' banner and promoted global physical well-being.

For India, it marks the nation's 19th appearance at the Commonwealth Games, having made its debut in the 1934 edition. A 124-member Indian contingent will be in action at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland, as athletes across eight able-bodied sports and five para-sports compete for medals.

India will begin their campaign with lawn bowl events across men's and women's disciplines.
