India has not won a single medal in the World Athletics Championship 2023 so far. At this time, the country was hoping for a medal from Neeraj Chopra. Meanwhile, the Indian men's 4x400m relay team put up a brilliant performance yesterday and boosted India's hopes of a second medal. The Indian men's relay team has secured their place in the final of the 4x400m event. It was one of the historic moments for India. The Indian team of Mohammad Anas Yahia, Amoj Jacob, Mohammad Ajmal Variathodi and Rajesh Ramesh raced in Heat 1 and finished second.
Indian team created a new record
India was sixth after the first leg but Amoj's brilliant run took him to second place. Ajmal and Rajesh Ramesh not only did well to maintain that lead but also helped the team set a new Asian record of 2:59.05 seconds.
