What a win that was!
A very dominant win from Sushil Kumar over Johannes Botha of South Africa

14:04 (IST)12 APR 2018
That barrage from India's Sushil Kumar was too much for Botha to handle and the 34-year-old finishes the match in under 2 minutes

And Sushil is on the charge.. 2 more points to the Indian
He's going to end it here if the South African doesn't recover
8-0 and it's OVER!
