The final batch of five men's freestyle wrestlers were in action for India at the 2025 Asian Championships in Amman, Jordan, on Sunday.
The Indian contingent had already won seven medals from the competition before the final day and added three more on the day to take the medal tally to double digits: 1 Gold, 3 Silver, 6 Bronze.
Five Wrestlers - Udit (61 Kg), Jaideep (74 Kg), Mukul (86 kg), Deepak (92 Kg), and Dinesh (125 Kg) were in action on Sunday.
After a disappointing first day of the men's freestyle competition, the Indian team bounced back, thanks to the solid performances from former medalists Udit and Deeepak Punia.
