Cricketers posting such stuff on social media is rare; hence, fans are confused about whether it's true or not. Moreover, Neeraj Chopra's performance was extraordinary as he reached 89.34 m in the first out of three chances given to the athletes in the qualification round.
India's performance in Paris Olympics 2024
The heartbreaks continued for India in the Paris Olympics 2024 as the Indian Hockey men's team failed to win in the semi-finals against Germany. While Manu Bhaker won one Bronze medal in the 10 m Air Pistol event, she won another bronze medal in the mixed team event along with Sarabjot Singh. Moreover, Swapnil Kushale also won one bronze medal in 50m Rifle 3P. Mint Primer.
The most heartbreaking moment was PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen's most unexpected exit from the tournament. This is the first time India hasn't won a medal in badminton since 2012. While there are more games and chances ahead of India to win Gold, expectations on Neeraj Chopra remain on top.
