Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has announced a weird giveaway to his fans, promising a cash prize of INR 100,089 (approximately Rs. 3.32 lac) to a lucky winner if India’s Neeraj Chopra clinches a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
Rishabh Pant, currently in Sri Lanka for India’s ODI series, appears to be caught up in the excitement of Arshad Nadeem vs Neeraj Chopra as well. He announced on his offical X account (formerly Twitter), which has left fans and followers both excited and puzzled. The tweet reads:
If Neeraj Chopra wins a gold medal tomorrow, I will pay 100089 Rupees to a lucky winner who likes the tweet and comments the most. And for the rest top 10 people trying to get the attention will get flight tickets. Let’s get support from India and outside the world for my brother.
Pant’s tweet has sparked a flurry of activity on social media, with fans eagerly liking and commenting in hopes of winning the prize. However, the unusual nature of the giveaway has also led to speculation about whether Pant’s account might have been hacked.
The announcement by Rishabh Pant comes as the excitement builds for the men’s javelin throw final at the Paris Olympics, where India’s “Golden Boy” Neeraj Chopra is set to face off against Pakistan’s underdog hero, Arshad Nadeem. Both athletes have secured their places in the finals, and the anticipation is palpable as fans from both nations rally behind their respective champions.
Neeraj Chopra, who has already made history with his previous performances, is aiming to add another gold medal to his collection. Meanwhile, Arshad Nadeem, who has shown remarkable form, is determined to bring home the gold for Pakistan.
