Lalit Advances in World Wrestling Championship; Three Indian Wrestlers Exit Early
On the opening day of the World Wrestling Championship in Astana, only Indian wrestler Lalit won his bout in the 55kg Greco-Roman category, overcoming a 0-7 deficit to defeat Turkiye's Omer Halis Recep 9-7. Lalit later lost to Iran's Payam Farzad Ahmadi, the 2025 U20 world champion, but may still compete for bronze if Ahmadi reaches the final. Three other Indian wrestlers—Harsh, Lovepreet Singh, and Prince—were eliminated in their opening matches, with some showing limited resistance.
