WRESTLING
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) had copped criticism after it picked Yogeshwar Dutt for the Commonwealth Games without a selection trial. The criticism seemed justified as Dutt had not taken part in many events since the 2012 London Olympics and had also changed his weight category from 60kg to 65kg. But the wrestler proved his detractors wrong by claiming the gold in Glasgow, winning all his contests including the final without conceding even a single point. At the Incheon Asiad, a determined Dutt bagged the nation's first wrestling gold since Kartar Singh's triumph in 1986 in Seoul.
