Vinesh Phogat ousted in first round of World Wrestling Championships 2022

By Hari Kishore M Modified 13 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat. (PC: Getty Images) Ace Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat was ousted from the World Wrestling Championships 2022 when she came up against Mongolia's Khulan Batkhuyag in the first round of the elite championship on Tuesday (September 9). Phogat, a triple Commonwealth Games champion, struggled against Batkhuyag's stupendous play and lost 0-7 in the end. The 10th seed Indian has now moved to the repechage and will meet Kazakhstan’s Zhuldyz Eshimova in the first round. The wrestler was one of India's 12 wrestling medal winners at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham. Phogat was a strong favorite after reigning world champion Akari Fujinami of Japan withdrew due to an injury. Watch: CWG 2022: Maari chhoriya chhoro se kam hai ke ft.

Vinesh Phogat found wanting during bout

Batkhuyag started the bout in a dominating fashion and took a 3-0 lead in the first period. The slender lead was enough to boost the confidence of the Mongolian as she never allowed Vinesh to stage a comeback. Such was the domination from Batkhuyag, that the celebrated Indian grappler was never truly in the bout. Batkhuyag pinned her opponent to the mat to score four points, which was the final nail in the coffin for Vinesh.
