The performance at the World Championships is a major confidence booster but replicating that at the Asian Games will be difficult given that the field will be less competitive, feels Indian men’s 4x400m relay team member Amoj Jacob.

Jacob, Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Muhammed Ajmal Variyathodi and Rajesh Ramesh shattered the Asian record, clocking 2 minute 59.05 seconds to take the Indian men’s relay team to its first ever World Championship final last week.
