India women's team national chief coach Bhaskar Bhatt has been part of their journey for some time now, having worked with some of the pugilists, including Nitu, since their youth days. Expectedly, he's a delighted man and is intent on helping the boxers build on this period of success. Bhatt felt this fertile period in women's boxing is due to investment over the years. With youth boxers evolving and becoming more stronger at the senior level, the Indian team is in a better shape.
"Given that this championship was being conducted in India, I had tall hopes. Our boxers had been moving forward step-by-step for a few years now. Everyone, including the coaches and support staff, had joined hands and worked as a unit, helping the boxers push on. As many as six boxers from the 12member team were also part of the youth team," Bhatt noted.
