Aman Sehrawat clinched India's first gold medal at the ongoing Asian Wrestling Championships after beating Kyrgyzstan's Almaz Smanbekov in the 57kg category on Thursday.
Sehrawat, who continued to impress on the senior circuit, beat Smanbekov 9-4 in the summit bout on the penultimate day of the championships.
Sehrawat had earlier beaten Japan's Rikuto Arai 7-1 in the quarterfinal before defeating China's Wanhao Zou 7-4 in the semis.
It was the second podium finish of the 2023 season for Sehrawat, who had won a bronze at the Zagreb Open in February. He had won the U-23 World Championships last year.
