Hangzhou: Kiran Bishnoi and Aman Sehrawat won bronze medals for India in wrestling helping the country to cross the 90-medal mark. First up, grappler Kiran delivered a solid performance as she clinched a bronze medal by outplaying Mongolia's Ariunjargal Ganbat by 3-0 in the women's freestyle 76kg category bout of the ongoing 19th Asian Games on Friday.

The Indian grappler kicked off the bout brilliantly as she pushed her opponent out of bounds. The pair were locked in battle and Ganbat escaped from a thigh hold but Kiran instantly pinned down her Mongolian opponent.

Kiran went back to the defence but lost some points while doing that. The Mongolian scripted a quick reversal out of a difficult position as she executed a takedown on the Indian to add two points to her score. However, Kiran quickly returned the favour by performing her own takedown and also pushed her opponents out of bounds once again. The Indian managed to display a stellar performance to win the bout and won the game by 6-3.

Next up, Aman thrashed Liu Minghu of China as she dominated the proceedings right from the start. The Indian wrestler took a lead of 5-0 very soon in the contest as a result of pushing her opponent out of bounds and getting a point for the passivity as well. Further, he went on to score points and won on the basis of technical superiority, thanks to a scoreline of 11-0.
