GANDHINAGAR: India's leading wrestlers have been playing through injuries at the National Games in Gujarat, risking aggravating them ahead of the all-important World Championships in Colombia, which will act as an Olympic qualifier for Paris 2024.
If Friday saw Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Mirabai Chanu competing in the women's 49kg category nursing an injury to her left wrist, Saturday was the turn of Birmingham CWG gold medallist Achinta Sheuli to play with a hip injury to lift down a creditable silver in the men's 73kg division.
