Indian para sprinter Mohammed Basil Morssinganakath delivered an outstanding performance to win the silver medal in the Men's 100m T47 event at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, clocking a season-best 10.83 seconds.

Basil finished just behind fellow Indian Dilip Mahadu Gavit, who claimed the gold medal in a Games-record time of 10.71 seconds, giving India a historic 1-2 finish in the para athletics sprint event.

Competing in damp conditions at Glasgow, Basil held his nerve in a thrilling race to edge past England's Kevin Santos (10.85s), who secured bronze, while Australia's Jaydon Page (10.97s) finished fourth.

The remarkable gold-silver finish highlights India's growing dominance in para athletics and marks one of the country's most memorable moments at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
