Bhubaneswar: India has officially announced its men’s freestyle wrestling squad for the upcoming World Wrestling Championships 2025, set to take place in Zagreb, Croatia, from September 13 to 21. Headlining the team is Olympic bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat, who continues to cement his status as one of India’s top wrestling talents.Aman Sehrawat Leads India’s Charge for Wrestling World Championships 2025.
Competing in the 57kg category, Sehrawat earned his place through a dominant performance at the selection trials in Lucknow, where he won both his bouts by technical superiority without conceding a single point. His recent form—featuring a bronze medal at the Ulaanbaatar Open in June and a gold at the Yasar Dogu tournament in July—makes him a strong medal contender on the world stage.
Joining Sehrawat are several other top Indian wrestlers, many of whom have had stellar performances both domestically and internationally:
61kg: Udit
65kg: Sujeet Kalkal
70kg: Rohit
74kg: Jaideep
79kg: Amit
86kg: Mukul Dahiya
92kg: Deepak Punia
97kg: Vickey
125kg: Rajat
Deepak Punia, another familiar name, will wrestle in the 92kg weight class and brings valuable experience to the squad.
The team’s composition reflects a strong blend of youth and experience, and India will enter the tournament with high hopes of securing multiple podium finishes. All eyes, however, will be on Sehrawat—whose form, fitness, and fierce determination are driving optimism in Indian wrestling circles.
