India Begins Lawn Bowls Campaign at 2026 Commonwealth Games with Medal Hopes
Lawn bowls, a precision sport played by rolling biased bowls toward a target ball called the jack, will open India's campaign at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. India aims to build on its historic success from Birmingham 2022, where the women's fours team won gold and the men's fours took silver. The 2026 Games will feature a reduced lawn bowls program with singles and pairs events held indoors. The sport, with roots in Britain and a growing presence in India, rewards players who place more bowls closer to the jack than their opponents.
