Can you picture India’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah launching a javelin across the field? India's Olympic gold medallist and reigning world champion in javelin, Neeraj Chopra believes that the 31-year-old speedster has all the natural qualities to excel in his sport.

India's Golden Boy @Neeraj_chopra1 spills the beans!
Who in the Indian cricket team does he think could dominate the javelin throw? ?
Any guesses before we reveal the name? ?
