Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday showed his wrestling prowess as he defeated 2008 Beijing Olympic silver medalist Andrey Stadnik in a promotional bout of the 2017 Pro Wrestling League (PWL) in New Delhi.

Ramdev, who performed 'Surya Namaskar' before starting his bout, defeated Stadnik 12-0.

Stadnik is well remembered by Indian wrestling enthusiasts as he had defeated Indian wrestler Sushil Kumar at Beijing Olympics.

His victory got him the silver medal in the Men's freestyle 66kg event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Ramdev opened his account with four points and soon took his tally to 7-0, dominating the game right from the start.

Ramdev showed wrestling acumen as he pulled out the best of technical moves such as take-down, one-leg hold and pinning down, it was reported.

Earlier on the occasion of 20th anniversary of his Ashram in Haridwar in 2016., Ramdev had challenged Sushil Kumar.

Sporting his saffron langot, the yoga guru chanted "Bharat mata ki jai! Vande Matram!" after winning the bout.
