After the success stories of Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, India on Friday claimed a third gold medal in wrestling at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. This time, it was Deepak Punia, who beat Pakistan's Muhammad Inam 3-0 in the men's 86kg category (freestyle). Two-time champion Inam never actually threatened Deepak's defence. It was a strong performance by Deepak to hand India a medal.

A solid show by Deepak Punia

Deepak took a 2-0 lead in the first period and then held his fort to thwart off Inam, winning 3-0. Punia showed strong defence and Inam never quite managed to break the Indian wrestler. In the semis, Deepak defeated Alexander Moore of Canada by a 3-1 margin. In the quarters, he tamed Sheku Kassegbama after having won by technical superiority in the first bout.
