That leaves athletics, boxing and weightlifting to carry a lot of responsibility.
India has sent the maximum allowed athletics team of 32 members, the largest contingent among all disciplines, to compete in 22 medal events.
Leading the team is two-time Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra, who enters the competition without being the clear favourite.
Sri Lanka’s Rumesh Tharanga has emerged as the athlete to beat in the men’s javelin after producing a throw of 92.62m to win the Rome Diamond League last month. Pakistan’s Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem is also in the field, although Chopra remains among the leading medal contenders.
India will also look towards high jumper Sarvesh Kushare, long jumper Murali Sreeshankar, triple jumper Praveen Chithravel and the men’s and women’s 4x400m relay teams for medals.
The athletics team won eight medals in Birmingham, although matching that tally may be difficult against stronger competition.
Weightlifting, another sport that has regularly delivered medals for India, will once again revolve around Olympic silver medalist Mirabai Chanu.
The 31-year-old is targeting a third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal and remains one of India’s strongest medal hopes.
India’s weightlifting team has been reduced to 11 members after several national campers returned positive drug tests, limiting the country’s medal opportunities in one of its most successful Commonwealth sports.
