Not long after he made the finals of the U-23 world championships in Pontevedra in Spain a day ago, Aman Sehrawat got a call from an Indian number. It was Lalit Kumar, his coach from the akhara at New Delhi’s Chhatrasal Stadium. “Aman had reached the finals but because he had to make weight for the next day’s competition, he was trying to lose another kilo. At that time, Aman was still a little tired. So I gave him very simple advice,” Lalit Kumar says. “I told him it’s not enough to reach the final. You have to wrestle for gold. Before you, 6-7 players from India have already won silver. Apni ladan ladiye. (you fight your own fight)”
