In a huge upset, Olympic silver medallist Ravi Dahiya was on Sun𒀰day knocked out of the Asian Games trials by unheralded Atish Todkar, who created a flutter at the IG Stadium by pinning the elite Indian wrestler in a pulsating 57kg bout.
Dahiya, called a 'machine' for his tremendous skills and𓆉 endurance, would not have expected such a resistance from Todkar, who hails from Maharashtra.
People who have seen Dahiya wrestle know that taking even two points from Dahiy𓃲a is a huge task for Indian wrestlers, forget🐎 about expecting someone winning 'by fall' against him.
However, o🃏n Sunday, not only points were scored with some splendid and breathtaking moves, Dahiya suffered a rare 'pin'.
Todkar was leading 20-8 at the timﷺe when he had Dahiya's sꦉhoulders on the mat.
Todkar consistently dodged Ravi by moving swiftly from under his arms to move back for tܫake-down moves.
Dahiya has not competed this year after suffering an ACL (Anterior Cruciate ℱLigament) and MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) injuries in🍰 his right knee.
