CWG 2026: India’s Relay Specialist Rajesh Ramesh Eyes Strong Games Debut
The 27-year-old from Tamil Nadu heads into the Games as one of India's most accomplished relay runners, having played a pivotal role in several medal-winning performances at the Asian and global level over the past few seasons.
Rajesh was a member of India's gold medal-winning men's 4x400m relay team and the silver medal-winning mixed 4x400m relay team at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou. He followed that up with gold in the mixed relay and silver in the men's relay at the 2023 Asian Athletics Championships before helping India script history at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, where the men's 4x400m relay team clocked an Asian record of 2:59.05. His personal best of 45.26 seconds in the individual 400m also ranks him among India's fastest active quarter-milers.
