India to win around 100 medals in CWG: Book

India's final medals tally in the Delhi Commonwealth Games would be around 100, according to a new book published by Penguin India.

The book, Road to Commonwealth Games 2010, forecasts 96-127 medals for the hosts in the October 3-14 quadrennial extravaganza with shooters expected to win some 30-35 medals.

Author Sunil Yash Kalra, who had earlier created a path-breaking docu-drama on India's women cricketers, believes medals, besides being the best indicators of the overall health of the sports establishment of a country, reflects the economic health too.

The book has been based on author's predictions on analyses, investments made in sports, athletes' past track records and recent performances vis-a-vis the performance of top five CWG athletes in same discipline.
