BENGALURU: Leading triple jumper Praveen Chitravel and long jumpers Jeswin Aldrin and M Sreeshankar will be more in focus behind Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra and steeplechaser Avinash Sable as the Indian team for the World Athletics Championships was announced on Tuesday.
The major shock from the team news is the absence of Asian champion shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor who has reportedly pulled out with a groin injury. "I felt the pain after my first attempt and I made the second throw ignoring the pain. But then I decided to stop," Toor had told TOI about the groin injury after winning the gold at the Asian Athletics Championships in Bangkok.
