What will be the lineup of the CWG 2022 opening ceremony?
The entire program of the opening ceremony, expcyed to last about two and a half hours, has been created by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. Thus a lot of buzz has been created around it.
Along with many other events, the most important, the Commonwealth Games Parade of Nations, which shows all the athletes marching under the flag of their respective nations, usually goes by continent instead. Thus, it will begin with the host nation of the last Games (in this case, Australia) followed by all other teams from the same continent (Oceania). England will enter last as the hosts of the event.
A major attraction at the event will be a choir of 1,000 people and the conclusion of the Queen’s Baton Relay
The cherry on top will be the performance from band UB40, who have supplied the backing track to this year’s Commonwealth Games – a track titled Champion. They will be joined by local rappers Gilly G and Dapz On The Map.

People can also log in to the website of Sony Liv to stream the opening ceremony from 11:30 pm IST onward.
India’s gold medal prospects at Birmingham Commonwealth Games
India has continuously improved its medal count at the Commonwealth Games. Its best-ever medal haul was in the 2010 edition when it hosted the Games in New Delhi. Heading into the 2022 edition of the Games in Birmingham, England, the hopes of more than 1.3 billion people rest on the shoulders of more than 200 players that have qualified for the quadrennial showpiece.
In the last Commonwealth Games held in Gold Coast, Australia, in 2018, India secured a total of 66 medals which included 26 Golds. The gold winners were spread across major sports such as shooting (7), weightlifting (5), wrestling (5), boxing (3), table tennis (3), badminton (2) and athletics (1).
However, this edition has removed shooting from the sports list. Hence, India’s medal tally might not be as big as the last edition. Here is a list of players and teams that could be prospective gold medal winners in the upcoming event, which begins on July 28, 2022.
