Vikas Krishan kept the Indian flag flying high by making it to the final of the world championships in Baku, Azerbaijan. Him and Shiva Thapa were the only two indians to get this far, and hence qualifying for the Youth Olympics later on this year in Singapore. Vikas has been in stellar form at Baku, and has not conceeded a single point in his last two bouts. He now faces Evaldas Petrauskas from Lithuania in the final.
Vikas has been one of the juniors MCT has been supporting and has been training under Coach E. Chiranjeevi and Coach Manoharan and there has been considerable improvements in his fundamentals.
