India's Murali Sreeshankar etched his name in the record books as he clinched silver in the men's long jump event at the Commonwealth Games 2022. This is India's second medal in athletics as the 23-year old recorded a jump of 8.08m in his fifth attempt to finish behind Bahamas' Laquan Nairn. This is Sreeshankar's first medal in a major international competition and a multi-sport event. Before this, he had won a bronze in the 2018 Asian U-20 Championships in Gifu, Japan.

The medal will give him some sort of relief after his disappointing performance in the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, USA, where he had finished seventh in the final last month. He had gone into the World Championships as a dark horse for a medal with a season's and personal best of 8.36m.

Here's the jump from Sreeshankar that secured the medal for India at Commonwealth Games 2022:
