Upcoming Indian wrestler Ravinder showed tremendous defense skills to reach the 61kg semi-finals of the junior world championship here on Monday even as three of his compatriots bit the dust in the quarter-finals.
In the quarter-final against Brunei's Alibeg Alibegov, Ravinder's superior defense was on display. Alibeg got hold of Ravinder's right leg and then also initiated a dangerous-looking double leg attack but on both occasions, Ravinder used his power and brain to wriggle out.
He will now fight it out with Armeina's Levik Mikayelyan for a place in the gold medal match.
