With a huge home advantage, I think India has got a realistic chance of getting 50 gold medals & 120 medals in all (silvers, bronzes included) at Delhi CWG 2010.

Going by the current trends, India should win 75% of its total gold medals from their 4 favorite disciplines - Shooting, Wrestling, Weightlifting, Boxing.

The breakup of the probable final gold medal tally for India would look like:

1. Shooting - 18 golds out of possible 36
2. Wrestling - 11 golds out of possible 21
3. Weightlifting - 7 golds out off possible 17
4. Boxing - 5 golds out of possible 10
5. Tennis - 2 golds out of possible 5
6. Table Tennis - 2 golds out of possible 8
7. Badminton - 2 golds out of possible 6
8. Archery - 3 golds out of possible 8


So, in total India should win atleast 50 gold medals in all.

In the major medal sports like Aquatics, Athletics, Cycling, Gymnastics which account for 145 gold medals out of total 271 gold medals available (more than 55%), Indians are unlikely to win any gold medals. Indian medal hopes & its probable surprises might be in Athletics events - Women's field events (discus,shortput) and women's 4X400 relay team. Hockey maybe a bronze & thats that.
