Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, two gold medalists from the 2018 tournament, intend to defend their respective titles. Only wrestlers from Canada and Nigeria are expected to compete against Indian grapplers. Vinesh is a medal contender despite recent physical and mental challenges and will be vying for her third consecutive gold medal at the CWG after winning in 2014 and 2018.
However, it will be difficult for the Indian wrestling squad to replicate the Gold Coast performance. Indian wrestlers competed in the CWG 2018 and won one medal in each of the 12 divisions.
