ONGCians once again showcased their sporting prowess at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games with a tally of 1 Gold, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze Medals.

Adding to the tally of gold medalist Amit Kumar (read story) and Bronze medalist Pawan Kumar(read story), here's a look at other ONGCians who made India proud at Glasgow.

Table Tennis

In fact he jumped so high that he finished on the top of the table. Having exhausted the other opportunity to win the medal, it was his last chance to show his prowess and Amal did not disappoint the Indian fans. In a high intensity trip, he ended up with silver medal in doubles pairing with partner Sharath Kamal.

Badminton

The famous duo won the silver medal fighting a tough battle. Ashwini as usual had been very aggressive on the court and was definitely a dominant partner.

Hockey

In the semifinal against New Zealand, India made a stunning comeback in the match after trailing 0-2. The scores were leveled 2-2 and it was then that Akashdeep Singh blasted a vital third goal into the roof of net with a reverse flick and Indian team won 3-2. Gurwinder Singh Chandi also scored two crucial goals in the tournament.

Athletics

South African Khotso Mokoena, who jumped 17.20m as the season best clinched the Gold. A total of 20 ONGC athletes had participated in this 12 day long mega event and returned with 6 medals which is a pretty healthy success rate. Congratulations to all the ONGCians across the country.
