The Indian team lost seven of their eight bouts against the USA, with the lone victory coming in 74kg category, in the opening round and then suffered another humiliating 0-8 whitewash against Iran in the next round.
The likes of Bajrang Punia (61kg), Rajneesh (65kg), Satywart Kadian (97kg), among others, failed to make a mark, losing their respective bouts rather tamely.
While Amit Kumar (57kg) and Hitender (125kg) forfeited their bouts against both USA and Iran.
However, the Indians could not win a single bout across all eight categories against the strong Iranian grapplers and crashed out of the two-day event.
