The inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic javelin event, originally set for 24 May in Bengaluru, has been postponed indefinitely due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Organisers cited solidarity with the armed forces as the reason for the decision. Earlier in the day, IPL 2025 was also suspended by the BCCI.
New Delhi: The inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic, scheduled to be held on 24 May in Bengaluru, was on Friday postponed indefinitely with the organisers saying that the “thoughts at this point are only with our armed forces, who are at the forefront for our nation”.
