The javelin star Neeraj Chopra had a fun conversation before the Neeraj Chopra Classics 2025, where he revealed that Brett Lee and Jasprit Bumrah can be better javelin throwers if given the chance. Neeraj said, However, replying to Neeraj's claim, the Australian legend Brett Lee responded respectfully and wittily that javelin pressurizes the elbow a lot, and he has a little bit of experience throwing javelin when he was in school. Neeraj said, "I have heard that Brett Lee was a javelin thrower. I think he could throw the javelin well, especially when he was in his peak years. I would like to try javelin with Jasprit Bumrah too, and hope he teaches me some bowling skills. While bowling and javelin are both throws, they are very different. I would like to learn from Bumrah.” Replying to NC, Lee posted on Twitter saying, "I did throw the javelin back at my schooling days, but nowhere near what Neeraj does & continues to do. Very tough on the elbow. I have however admired what this fine athlete can do and wish him well." 😂 I did throw the javelin back at my schooling days, but nowhere near what Neeraj does & continues to do.

Being consistently in 80s, he has reached the 90 meter mark at Doha. Currently, Neeraj is prepping for the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classics organized by JSW Sports. It will start on July 5, at Bangalore. Prior to this, Neeraj prayed to have a superpower like the Indian cricketing God Sachin Tendulkar. He said, "Sachin Tendulkar. He represented our country so well for so many years and made so many records for us. The way he faced challenges from many great bowlers and still performed exceptionally — I would want that superpower and try to do the same. It would help me handle challenges that come my way with a calm mindset. I do try, but I wish I improved more."
