I had flashbacks to 2018 when I came here as a spectator: Nikhat after ensuring India of a medal

New Delhi, Mar 22 (PTI) After confirming her second consecutive World Championships medal, Nikhat Zareen recalled the time when she would sit in the IG Indoor Stadium as a spectator to watch boxers from across the globe compete at the 2018 edition of the tournament here.

The-26-year-old eked out 5-2 win against two-time World Championship bronze medallist Thailand's Chuthamat Raksat in the quarterfinals to assure India of at least a bronze medal in the 50kg category.

The Telangana boxer has become a household name in the past one year thanks to her gold-winning streak in 2022 where she won the Strandja Memorial, World Championships and the Commonwealth Games.
