Boxer Vikas Krishan clinced gold medal in the men’s 75kg category at the 21st Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast on Saturday.

Vikas, a former Asian Games gold-medallist and world bronze-medallist, pummelled Cameroon’s Dieudonne Wilfried Ntsengue to claim the third gold for India.

The technically superior Indian stuck to his usual tactic of taking slow control of the proceedings, trading with caution first up before letting it rip to take the opponent by surprise.
