Commonwealth Games 2018: 5 Indians who punched above their weight

#5 Mohammed Hussamuddin

Mohammed Hussamuddin braved odds and clinched a bronze

Boxing, for India, was fraught with tension owing to the syringe discovery prior to the beginning of the Games.

Out of the 12 boxers, nine won medals, and India can safely be said to have put in a stellar boxing performance. Mohammed Hussamuddin, the 25-year-old, made it to the semi-finals after an incredible performance.

Going up against Peter McGrail of England in the 56kg category, Hussamuddin fell fighting 5-0 and had to settle for a bronze medal.

All his previous bouts in the Games had been spectacular enough to deem him as a new force.
