Jaipur captain Elizbar Olikadze closed out a superb outing for his team by overpowering Punjab’s Krishan Kumar in the men’s 97kg division.

Skipper Vladimir Khinchegashvili (57kg) the reigning Olympic champion and the most expensive wrestler this season and Nigeria’s Odunayo Adekuoroye (women’s 53kg) were the the only bright spots for Punjab yesterday.

The Georgian, Vladimir turned it into a virtually one-sided affair by opening up a 6-0 gap within the first two minutes of the opening period.

Leading 7-0 at the interval, the European Championship medallist bagged five more points in the second period before the bout was stopped due to technical superiority.

Jaipur Ninjas registered a comprehensive 5-2 victory over Punjab Royals in a Pro Wrestling League (PWL) contest at the KD Jadhav Stadium on Tuesday.

Jakob Makarashvili (74kg), Pooja Dhanda (women’s 58kg), Jenny Fransson (women’s 75kg) Vinod Kumar Omprakash (70kg) and skipper Elizbar Olikadze (97Kg) won their respective bouts for Jaipur.
