India also have three representatives in the men’s javelin throw final, which takes place just after midnight IST. Neeraj Chopra, the former CWG gold medallist at the Gold Coast 2018 Games, will look to regain his title at the Glasgow Games, but he will face stiff competition from the rest of the field.
Sri Lanka’s Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage topped the qualification rounds and will be a strong medal contender. Meanwhile, Neeraj’s duel with Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem will be a highlight of the competition.
Neeraj will be joined by fellow Indian javelin throwers Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh, who will also vie for a podium finish.
