Indian wrestling sensation Sushil Kumar met yoga guru Ramdev after securing a gold medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Kumar's relationship with Ramdev dates back to when he was a child, so much so that Ramdev said "Sushil was raised by me."
Kumar won gold in the men's 74-kg category wrestling competition at the 21st Commonwealth Games in Australia.
He defended his crown in the 74-kg category, which he had won at the 2014 edition in Glasgow, Scotland. The Haryanvi wrestler barely spent any time on the mat – his final lasting was just a minute and 20 seconds – and claimed easy victories to win his third successive gold at the games, a love affair that began at the 2010 Delhi edition.
He had won gold in the now disbanded 66-kg category at the 2010 edition in New Delhi before winning the 74-kg title at the 2014 CWG in Glasgow, Scotland.
His third CWG gold is being hailed as a big achievement on his part. After all, he returned after a hiatus of four years.
