India’s prospects of winning a gold medal in the ongoing 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have been sustained by Neeraj Chopra. With Rishabh Pant a remarkable 89.34 m throw in the qualification round, Chopra advanced to the javelin throw finals. On August 8, Neeraj Chopra will be the main attraction once again as he goes for the gold.
Not too long ago, famed Indian batter Rishabh Pant posted an offer to his followers on X, the former name of Twitter. Pant tweeted that, should Neeraj Chopra win the gold medal at the Olympics in Paris, he would provide INR 1,000,89 to the fortunate winner who receives the greatest number of likes and comments. For the remaining nine top users who reply to the tweet, he also guaranteed plane tickets.
In the event that Neeraj Chopra wins a gold medal tomorrow. The lucky winner who leaves the most likes and comments on the tweet will receive 100089 Rupees. Flight tickets will be awarded to the top 10 individuals who are vying for attention. Let us garner support for my brother from India and beyond,” Pant posted on his ‘X’ handle.
