Sachin rallied to defeat Kazakhstan’s Yerbolat Sabyr 4-1 in a gritty performance by the end of which his confident opponent was left with a bloodied face and exhausted body.
The Indian was off to a spirited start and was definitely impressive with his counter-attacks but the Kazakh clinched the opening round 3-2.
Sachin intensified his attacks after the break with his right straights fetching him the points. He drew level by getting a split verdict in his favour in the second round.
The final round belonged to the relentless Sachin as Sabyr ran out of steam. India thus ended their campaign with 11 medals—eight gold and three bronze medals.
