Indian grappler got off to a fine start as she pushed her opponent out of bounds. The pair were locked in battle and Ganbat escaped from a thigh hold but Kiran instantly pinned down her Mongolian opponent. Kiran went back to the defence and lost some points in the process. The Mongolian created a quick reversal out of a difficult position as she executed a takedown on the Indian to earn two points. But Kiran was quick to return the favour with a takedown of her own. She also got the Mongolian out of bounds, taking her lead up to four points. Kiran manages to defend run down the clock and secure a podium finish. Later in the day, Bajrang Punia and Aman Sehrawat will look to add two more to the tally as they will also feature in bronze medal bouts. (ANI)
