Gold Coast: The ever-reliable Jitu Rai's pistol shot down a Gold and a Games record, while the mixed Badminton and men's Table Tennis sides also picked up milestone top finishes as India shone through in both the individual and team events on a splendid Day-5 of the 21st Commonwealth Games here. The weight-lifters wrapped up their remarkable campaign with a final-day silver medal through Pardeep Singh (105kg), signing off with five gold, two silver and two bronze medals, topping the charts in the sport. In the overall medals tally, India jumped to third spot with 10 gold, four silver and five bronze medals after another fruitful day across sports, which fetched three gold, two silver and a bronze. Jitu started the gold rush in the 10m air pistol event, shrugging off a weak qualifying round to shatter the Games record with a score of 235.1 in the final.
