Vinesh Phogat undergoes knee surgery, vows to come back stronger
Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who pulled out of Asian Games with a knee injury, underwent surgery in Mumbai and vowed to come back stronger.
Phogat, who was at the forefront of the protest against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, had got a direct entry to the Hangzhou Asian Games but suffered an injury while training.
With Phogat injured and out of contention, Antim Panghal, who had emerged as the standby at the trials, will slot into the Asian Games squad. It appears likely that the U-20 world champion will also make the World Championships squad with Phogat unexpected to be fit for the trials.
Whenever I have fallen, you have stood by my side against all odds.
