Impressive results overall, but the narrow loss by Gopal Rameshwar Ganeshe (2:3) shows that we are just a few adjustments away from dominating. The coaching staff should analyze those close defeats to turn them into wins next time. Proud of all our athletes! 🙌

Not bad at all! What I appreciate is that these are U-15 and U-17 categories - these kids are basically teenagers! The future of Indian boxing looks bright with talents like Samir Bohra and Hanshika Attri. Hope the government continues to support grassroots boxing programs. Delhi mein bhi aise tournaments hote to aur bhi talent nikalta! 👊

Good to see India doing well, but need to learn from the losses too. Mishra Prashant lost 0:5 to a Chinese boxer - that's a wake-up call for our coaching in that weight category. But overall, the medal tally should be decent. The Boxing Federation of India needs to focus more on conditioning and technique for our youngsters. Hard work plus smart training will get us to the top! 💪

Amazing to see Nitya Pandey from Uttar Pradesh fighting in the 55kg category! Even though she lost, competing against Kazakhstan's Aruna Shalman at this age is experience money can't buy. Khushi Rana's RSC win was brutal! Every Indian should take pride in these young champions. 🇮🇳✨
