The 27-year-old also just regained control of the globe. currently holding the top spot in the World Rankings and seeking to make a statement in front of his hometown audience.

Neeraj was just asked a fascinating question on Star Sports when speaking with Robin Uthappa, and his response was not unexpected.

Brett Lee and Sachin Tendulkar, according to Neeraj Chopra

The former cricketer asked him to identify a cricketer whose superpower he would want to copy in order to make the perfect javelin throw. Sachin Tendulkar was immediately chosen by Neeraj, and he gave his rationale.

"Sachin Tendulkar." He has represented our nation so well for so many years and has set so many records for us. I would want that talent and attempt to do the same way he handled challenges from so many outstanding bowlers and yet continued to play at such a high level. With a calm demeanor, it would help me deal with any difficulties that may arise. I make an effort, but I want to get better," he remarked.

Additionally, he disclosed that Brett Lee had previously been a javelin thrower. "I have heard that Brett Lee used to throw javelins," he stated. In his prime, I believe he had a strong javelin toss. I would also like to try javelin with Jasprit Bumrah and hope he teaches me some bowling techniques. Although both bowling and javelin throwing involve throwing, the two sports are quite distinct. I would like to pick up a few things from Bumrah.

Neeraj has performed well this year, breaking the 90-meter barrier once. His first throw of 88.16 meters earned him the recent victory in the Paris Diamond League. With a throw of 88.16 meters at the Ostrava Golden Spike competition, he secured his third victory of the year.
