He had his best performance at last year's Commonwealth Championships with a 271Kg total Lift (120 Snatch + 151 C&J) to win the title and set India's new National record.

The three lifters with the highest totals win the medals. In case of a tie, the athlete who lifted the total first is ranked higher.
In this field, Malaysia's Bin Kasdan has the highest Personal Best in 60Kg, lifting 277Kg at the Asian Championships 2026.
