Two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar is all set to make a comeback to the mat after three long years, but Yogeshwar Dutt will continue his absence from competitive fold when the National Wrestling Championship starts in Indore from November 15. Sushil, who was having a training stint in Tbilisi, Georgia, rushed back to the country to take part in the selection trial. "I am currently in my best shape mentally and physically and have started enjoying wrestling on competitive level," Sushil said.

But Babita Kumari would take part.
