India's wrestling star and double Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar had to taste defeat after returning to World Championship on Friday. Sushil was facing Azerbaijan's Khadzhimurad Gadzhiyev and made a fantastic comeback to maintain a lead of 9-4 in the first half after trailing by 0-2. However, Sushil seemed to be tired in the second half which cost him a defeat in his opening bout in the 74kg qualification bout.
