in5points
Jhandu Kumar won India's first medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, a bronze in para powerlifting with lifts of 181kg and 190kg.
His name 'Jhandu' originated from a family friend's taunt after his parents spent all savings on his polio treatment.
Kumar, from Bihar, worked as an e-rickshaw driver to fund his training.
He overcame polio and childhood taunts to compete at the international level.
Kumar aims to break records at future Para Asian Games and Paralympics.
