Nur-Sultan [Kazakhstan], Sept 22 (ANI): Indian wrestler Deepak Punia has withdrawn from the final of the World Wrestling Championship with an ankle injury.
"I am a bit disappointed that I can't fight for gold but I am happy with my overall performance here. I will work hard and the aim is to win a medal in the Olympics," Deepak said on Sunday.
Deepak was scheduled to face Iran's Hassan Yazdani in the finals in the 86-Kg category. Now, he has to settle with a silver medal.
