Star wrestler Vinesh Phogat marked her spectacular comeback by securing a gold medal in the 55 kg category at the Senior National Wrestling Championships 2024 in Jaipur on Sunday.

Additionally, Nirmala, the 2010 Asian Championships and Commonwealth Games medalist, claimed gold in the 50kg category by defeating Neelam.
