For the unversed, he had a mixed outing on Friday as he had just had cleared past his opponent on the edge in the first round. He had defeated Ernazar Akmataliev to reach the quarter finals. He came back with his technical acumen and fueled willpower to pin down Morteza Cheka Ghiasi and enter the semi-finals. Today, he defeated Kazakhstan's Daulet Niyazbekov with the score 8-0 and won the Bronze medal.
The Indian wrestler was the country’s best bet for winning a gold medal but unfortunately, he lost to Haji Aliyev of Azerbaijan in the semi-finals, which ended that dream. He completely dominated the Kazakh opponent in the bronze medal match. In the 2019 World championship, he had lost to the Kazakh wrestler in the semi-finals, but this year the game was reversed.
