His family background in wrestling has instilled a strong competitive spirit in him, which he channeled effectively during the tournament.

The leaderboard showcased a competitive field, with notable performances from Akshay Sharma and Shaurya Bhattacharya, both finishing at 200, and Rashid Khan, Kshitij Naveed Kaul, and others closely trailing behind. The final scores highlighted the intensity and skill displayed throughout the event, marking a significant moment in Jaglan's burgeoning career.
