New Delhi: The Indian men’s 4x400m relay team created history on Saturday when they edged past some of the top contenders in Heats to qualify for the World Athletics Championships final for the first time in history in Budapest.
The quartet of Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Amoj Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal Variyathodi, and Rajesh Ramesh came second in Heats behind the USA in 2:59.05s, thus also creating an Asian record in the process.
Whenever something new is achieved in any global competition, the people on the mic usually speak about the achievements of the unknown stars at that very moment. However, to everyone’s surprise, the commentators didn’t speak much about the Indian team, which irked legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan.
