India’s star grappler Bajrang Punia entered the final of the men’s 65kg freestyle category after defeating England’s George Ramm via technical superiority here on Friday. Bajrang was dominant, just as he has was in the quarter-final against Jean Guyliane Joris Bandou of Mauritius. Earlier, Bajrang needed less than two minutes to move into the quarter-finals as he pinned down Naurau’s Lowe Bingham in his opening bout, here on Friday. Bajrang, who has entered the field as the defending champion, measured his rival for about a minute and then put him on the mat from a lock position to finish the bout in a jiffy. Bingham had no clue what struck him as the wrestler from the island nation was at sea.

Sakshi, Anshu, Deepak in final too

Sakshi Malik, Anshu Malik and Deepak Punia are assured of at least a silver after entering the final of their respective categories, while Divya Kakran and Mohit Grewal will fight for bronze. Sakshi overpowered Cameroon’s Berthe Emilienne Etane Ngolle in the 62kg semis. Anshu beat Sri Lanka’s Nethmi Poruthotage in the 57kg event. Deepak Punia (65kg) beat Canada’s Alexander Moore.
