Indian two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar took just 107 seconds to beat Pakistan's Qamar Abbas to win the gold medal in the men's freestyle 74kg category wrestling final in the 2014 Commonwealth Games at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) here Tuesday.

Sushil was leading 6-2 in the first period when the referee V. Keelan decided to give it in favour of the Indian, who managed to pin down Abbas.

It was the third gold for India after Amit Kumar and Vinesh Phogat's triumph in their respective categories.
