India’s 4x400m men’s relay team scorched the track and ran a historic race at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on Saturday, finishing second in the heats with an Asian record (AR) of 2 minute 59.05 seconds. The quartet of Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Amoj Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal Variyathodi and Rajesh Ramesh put in a stunning display to finish above an athletics powerhouse like Great Britain (2:59.42 seconds) and qualify for the final of World Athletics Championships.
The previous Asian record of 2:59.51 was in the name of Japan.
