Pakistan’s cricketer-turned-javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem and India’s Neeraj Chopra melted hearts in Pakistan and India alike after their picture together during the ongoing Asian games in Indonesia went viral.
The two athletes can be seen exchanging a warm handshake with each other after receiving their medals. Neeraj won gold, while Arshad settled for a bronze medal.
The Pakistani star was full of praise for his Indian counterpart, saying that he would one day want to be like Chopra, but the Indian gold-medalist does not ‘reply’.
“Neeraj bhai does not reply on WhatsApp. I greatly admire his throwing technique, and would love to learn a few things, but he does not reply after 2-3 messages,” Arshad said.
Social media has also been abuzz with the sportsmanship shown by the two athletes and have lauded the two for portraying a friendly image between the two countries world-wide.
