Questioning the Asian Games trials exemption given to Vinesh Phogat, reigning Under-20 World Champion Antim Panghal on Wednesday asserted that not just she but many other Indian wrestlers are capable of beating the celebrated grappler in the 53kg category.

Vinesh (53kg) and Bajrang Punia (65kg) were given direct entries for the Asian Games by the Indian Olympic Association's ad-hoc committee on Tuesday while other wrestlers will have to book their places in the Indian squad through selection trials on July 22 and 23.
