    Khelo India Tribal Games: Chhattisgarh women’s football team continued their solid run in the inaugural Khelo India Tribal Games (KITG) 2026, aided by the individual brilliance of their captain Kiran Pisda, by defeating Jharkhand 1-0 in the final on their way to securing a gold medal in Raipur on Thursday.

    The hosts also added the men’s 4x400m relay silver and men’s 1500m bronze to their overall tally on the penultimate day of track & field competitions in Jagdalpur. Further, Jharkhand’s Shiv Kumar Soren completed a grand double by adding the 200m gold to his 100m triumph.

    The Chhattisgarh women’s team made the most of the solitary chance they got against the aggressive Jharkhand outfit when their captain pounced on a defensive lapse to score in the 61st minute, and then the host team held on to the advantage to clinch the title.
