Commonwealth Games 2022: Wrestler Ravi Dahiya aims for his maiden CWG medal

After claiming Silver at the Tokyo Olympics, wrestler Ravi Kumar Dahiya will be eyeing glory in his maiden Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Dahiya failed to make a cut to CWG 2018 due to his prolonged injury after an impressive performance in Junior World Wrestling Championship.

He returned to the mat at the 2018 World U-23 Wrestling Championship and claimed a Silver. Since then, there has been no stopping the 24-year-old. While working hard on his fitness, the champion wrestler didn't look behind and became only the second Indian wrestler after Sushil Kumar to claim a Silver at the Olympic Games.
