“Man’s Javelin throw is being described as the game of Pakistan and India,” Neeraj told reporters. “I usually don’t check my mobile phone before the match, but today when I saw the social media there was a Pakistan vs India match seen everywhere.”

Neeraj won gold at the World Athlete Championship as he threw the javelin at a distance of approximately 88.17 metres while Arshad secured second position by throwing his javelin at 87.82 metres.

“Not only Arshad Nadeem but Europe-based Jakub and Julian Weber are also dangerous players who can create a big throw anytime, that’s why you have to keep an eye on other players.”

Applauding Arshad, he added: “I am very happy to see Arshad on the second number because Pakistan and India secured victories in a game traditionally dominated by European countries.”

Furthermore, he said the Asian games will be over next event and Pakistan and India will be only discussed in the event.
