JOSH wahi, andaaz naya (Same vigour, new style). With the faces of all the CWG participants, one of Boxing Federation of India's promotional posters ahead of the marquee event has those words engraved in it. "We have tall expectations this time. Hopefully, our boxers can deliver and we can finish in the top three," one of the prominent officials from the federation tells this daily when asked about what to expect from the contenders in the next few days.

However, the women's team boasts some serious talent in Nikhat Zareen, who's entering the marquee event after a historic performance not so long ago during the IBA Women's World Championships. Lovlina Borgohain has grown from strength-to-strength over the years and the Tokyo Olympics medallist will be determined to put behind the recent off-thering hiccup and deliver a strong show.
Then there are first-timers in the form of Nitu Ghanghas, a former youth world champion.
