Indian wrestler Neelam Sirohi won a silver medal in the women's 50kg category at the 2026 World Wrestling Championships in Astana after losing to Japan's Yui Susaki, who secured her fifth world title by pinning Neelam before the end of the first period. Neelam reached the final by defeating Kazakhstan's Zeinep Bayanova 7-3 in the semifinals. This marks a significant milestone as she became the second Indian woman to win silver at the World Championships, alongside Anshu Malik. Another Indian wrestler, Kajal Dhochak, also reached the final in the 76kg category, making it the first time two Indian women reached finals at the same edition.
