“Hi, Ranjith. You’ve got a full VVIP experience waiting for you in Bengaluru because your trip to the Neeraj Chopra Classic is on me! And thanks to Radisson Hotels, you will be staying about 90 metres away from me. See you soon”, the champion posted, with a jovial hint at his career best performance of 90.23 metres at the Doha Diamond League in May this year.
