KD Jadhav could not continue his wrestling career after the win at the Helsinki Olympics due to a knee injury.

The Maharashtra government posthumously awarded the Chhatrapati Puraskar after his death in 1984. It is said that his skilful approach and light feet made him one of the best athletes, early in his career. Despite not being used to international wrestling rules and competing with highly-experienced wrestlers, Jadhav finished sixth, the highest-ever finish for an Indian wrestler during those times.

After defeating Billy Jernigan of the US, he lost to Mansour Raeisi of Iran and was thus disqualified from the competition. He was killed in a car accident in 1984, and his wife had trouble finding any support from anyone. Up until 1948, he was the first Indian to place so highly in the individual category. A cavalcade of 151 bullock carts and dhols carried the crowd's hero through the village of Goleshwar after they had gathered at the Karad Railway Station to welcome him. A minimum 30-minute break between bouts was required by the rules, but because no Indian official was available to argue the case, a worn-out Jadhav failed to motivate, and Mammadbeyov took advantage of the opportunity to advance to the final. He was the first athlete from an independent India to take home an Olympic medal. Jadhav put in even more work during the following four years to prepare for the Helsinki Olympics, where he competed in the bantamweight category (57 kg), which featured wrestlers from 24 different nations. He took part in the movement to leave India. He decided to raise the tricolour flag during the Olympics on August 15, 1947, which was Independence Day. Khashaba was the first individual athlete from independent India to take home an Olympic medal after Norman Pritchard, who won two silver medals in the sport in 1900 while competing for colonial India. Khashaba Dadasaheb Anniversary: Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav, the first individual athlete to win an Olympic medal for independent India at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, was born on January 15; this year is his 97th birthday. The doodle includes a sketch of him preparing to attack his opponent.
