He was the lone hope for India to win the gold medal on the final day of the Senior Asian Championships.

Jitender will now be up against Daniyar KAISANOV of Kazakhstan, the defending Asian Champion. The Kazakh wrestler is also a 2018 Asian Games silver medallist. It will be a tough bout for Jitender. He will also have the additional pressure of millions of expectations for India’s second gold in the freestyle competition.
