Soon after, Neeraj won the gold medal, wishes started pouring in for him from all the corners. While the whole country is celebrating the historic win of Neeraj Chopra, on the other hand, a Sri Lankan cricket fan took a dig at Indian bowlers and stole all the unnecessary attention.

Well, a Sri Lankan cricket named Daniel Alexander, who is very active on social media and is infamous for his tweets against Indian cricketers, took this as an opportunity to take a dig at Indian bowlers. In his tweet, he tried to troll Indians bowlers including the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravi Ashwin, and Harbhajan Singh for their bowling actions.

He wrote how Indians are celebrating one Javelin thrower when they have got players like Ashwin, Bumrah, and Harbhajan. He wrote:

“Surprised to see lndia celebrating one javelin thrower which isn’t new for them, when they’ve got the likes of Harbhajan, Ashwin and Bumrah who are doing javelin throw for years. If you know, you know. #NotCricket”
