With this, India's Greco-Roman wrestlers have done better than the last edition where they had won only a couple of bronze medals through Rajender Kumar (55kg) and Harpreet Singh (82kg).
Bajrang is eager to keep the juggernaut rolling at the World Wrestling Championship later this year.
Vinesh Phogat feels that it is their speed and agility that sets the Japanese apart from the rest.
Bajrang staged a superb comeback after conceding the lead to dominate the second and final round.
Both Bajrang (men's 65kg) and Sarita (women's 58kg) have ensured at least a silver medal each for the country.
Harpreet Singh was the lone bright spot for India on the opening day of the Asian Wrestling Championship.
Gurpreet will now take on Bin Yang of China in the bronze medal play-off match.
