Star paddler Achanta Sharath Kamal and world champion boxer Nikhat Zareen have been named India’s flagbearers for the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games right here on Monday.

The 40-year-old Sharath has a wealthy haul of 4 medals on this version of the Games, having gained the lads’s group and combined doubles gold and a silver within the males’s doubles occasion. He will even be taking part in within the males’s singles gold medal match later within the day.

Zareen, alternatively, gained the gold medal within the gentle flyweight occasion (50kg) on Sunday.”It is with nice pleasure we announce Mr.Achanta Sharath Kamal and Ms.Nikhat Zareen as our flagbearers,” Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Acting President Anil Khanna mentioned in a press release.

“Sharath has served table tennis brilliantly all these years and his medals, including a mixed doubles gold, at Birmingham 2022 speak of the class and quality he brings to the highest stage along with his longevity.”Ms Zareen, the reigning world champion and Team India’s gold medallist within the gentle flyweight boxing class at these Games is one in all our greatest skills who continues to go from energy to energy, inspiring many, together with younger ladies in India,” he added.

The ultimate determination was made contemplating the truth that the wrestling and weightlifting groups have already left for India.
