Pakistan's star wrestler Inam Butt bagged a Silver medal for his country after a final loss against an Indian opponent in Men's Freestyle 86kg event in the Commonwealth Games 2022 on Friday.

After a good clash between Inam and India's Punia, the Pakistani player couldn't score a point and was handed a 3-0 defeat by the Indians. 

In his semi-final bout, Inam defeated South Africa's Edward Lessing by 5-3 to qualify for the Gold medal clash with Punia.
