    Solution

    On January 15, 2023, Google Doodle paid tribute to Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav(Pocket Dynamo), independent India's first individual Olympic medalist, as the wrestler celebrated his 97th birthday. Jadhav, a bantamweight wrestler, earned bronze in Helsinki in 1952 after losing in the sixth round against Japanese Shohachi Ishii. In addition, the wrestler competed in the 1948 Olympics. However, because of his lack of expertise on the mat, he may finish sixth.
