Sehrawat, who trains at Delhi’s famed Chhatrasal stadium, got the better of Japan’s Rikuto Arai 7-1 in the quarterfinal before beating China’s Wanhao Zou 7-4 in the semifinal.
Sehrawat, who won the U23 World Championships last year, will now clash with Kyrgyzstan’s Almaz Smanbekov in the gold-medal bout.
It will be a second podium finish of the 2023 season for Sehrawat, who had won a bronze at the Zagreb Open in February.
