The Haryana wrestlers swept four more gold medals as the table read 16 gold, 8 silver, 16 bronze, and a total of 45 medals.

Maharashtra’s Vishwajit More won his bout in the Greco Roman 55 kg category with technical superiority. Ravinder also got the better of his tough opponent in Maharashtra’s Ajay Kapade in the freestyle 60 kg final. However, he kept his cool under pressure for a 11-8 victory.
