In the team event, he along with his team won the Gold.
Abhishek's mother gave him Rs. 80,000 to buy equipment for his sport - and that was all the money she had.
He was recently presented the Arjuna Award by the President of India.
An Arjuna awardee, an Asian Games Gold and Silver Medallist, Abhishek works as a Tax Assistant in the Income Tax Department. (See - 29 08 2014).
Probably there is no provision in the cadre review to promote outstanding sportsmen who bring laurels to the country.
If it were some other sport and some other organisation, Abhishek would have got huge benefits.
