While Neeraj Chopra will not compete in Delhi as he continues training abroad, the men’s javelin field remains strong, featuring seven 80m-plus throwers, including Sachin Yadav.
The 26-year-old returns to competition for the first time since his impressive fourth-place finish at the 2025 World Championships, where he recorded a throw of 86.27m.
