Finally coming to the Wrestling event, India will have high expectations from their representatives. The expectations soar after the fall of experience Sushil Kumar on the first day. The two-time Asian Games gold medallist and two-time Olympics medal winner suffered a shock defeat to Adam Batirov of Bahrain in the first contest of the men's 74-kg freestyle category. However, now all eyes will be on Sakshi Malik, who will hope to give a reason to celebrate to India with her performance on Monday. Participating in Women's Freestyle 62 kg Malik remains country’s biggest bet to bring the gold home.
