After the two-day trials for the Asian Games 2023, India's wrestling squad for the continental event was confirmed on July 23, 2023.

A total of 18 wrestlers were selected for the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou with six wrestlers each in Greco-Roman, men's freestyle and women's freestyle. 

Meanwhile, two wrestlers, women's 53kg and men's 65kg, were also picked as standbys for Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia. 

No Ravi Dahiya in the Asiad 

In a major upset during the trials, Tokyo Olympics Silver medallist Ravi Kumar Dahiya failed to qualify for the Hangzhou Games after suffering a first-round exit.

Big Surprises in women's freestyle

In the women's section, world championships medal winners Sarita Mor and Anshu Malik failed to qualify for the 2023 Asian Games.
