Who Is Bindyarani Devi?

Bindyarani Devi is an Indian weightlifter who is known for competing in the 55 kg weight class. She has recently won the silver medal in the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022.

Her real name is Bindyarani Devi Sorokhaibam. She was born on 27 January 1999 in India’s Manipur state. Locally and nationally, she is commonly referred to as “Mirabai 2.0” since Mirabai Chanu, a silver medallist from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, is also from Manipur.

Her father is a farmer who also owns a grocery shop. Due to her short height, she opted for weightlifting as her career from a younger age.
