Renu Malik (18) appears poised in her tight-fit blue shorts and purple t-shirt as the referee blows the whistle. The winter sun shines gently on the traditional mud wrestling turf. With each twist, hold and drop, Malik demonstrates her strength, speed and technical prowess. Although it is a practice match, it is hard to ignore the intense grit and focus on her face as she jostles with her opponent, a budding wrestler herself, in a bid to pin her down with a knockout move.
