Despite missing the event, he tried to have the feel of the Games being held after seven years as he visited the wrestling arena here at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar on Saturday.
The four-time Worlds medallist has several titles in his brimming trophy cabinet but the National Games accomplishment is missing from it. And he regrets it. "I feel strongly about competing at the event as I have played several tournaments including Worlds and Olympics but never featured at the National Games. I miss that joy of competing here," Bajrang said on the sidelines of the wrestling event. The Haryana grappler had missed the previous edition held in 2015 as he was in the USA training for international events.
