Neeraj Chopra also has the experience of winning the world at the junior level. He had won the Junior World Championship in 2016 and it is expected that like him, the Indian team can also do wonders.

First major tournament of career and opportunity to play final for the first time. Means a chance to create history. Not every player gets such opportunities in his career. Only a few are lucky, who get the fruits of their hard work. For this, playing well is as important as controlling your emotions. Don’t have to worry. Also, if some important tips are received from a veteran and champion player before such a final, then even better. India’s Under-19 women cricketers, who have come very close to creating history, got a similar opportunity when Olympic champion Indian veteran Neeraj Chopra came to meet them.
History is going to be written on Sunday 29 January in Potchefstroom, South Africa. The Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup, held for the first time, is about to reach its conclusion. After two weeks of tough competition, the final of the tournament will be held, in which the Indian team will face England. Whichever of the two wins, history will belong to him. In women’s cricket, there cannot be a better chance than this for India, which is still bereft of the World Cup.

Meet the champion before the final
To capitalize on this opportunity, the Indian team, captained by Shefali Verma, will have to show their mettle on the field. In such a situation, for the team to perform well, they need a lot of enthusiasm and motivation and India’s superstar javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra did the same thing.
Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Neeraj Chopra met the entire Indian team in Potchefstroom just a day before the finals and told them how to deal with the pressure of a big tournament and finals and also boosted the spirits of the Indian girls.
A Gold-standard meeting!

Team India happy to meet Neeraj
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted pictures of Neeraj with Team India on social media. In these pictures, Neeraj was seen sharing his experience with the Indian players sitting in front. Indian players also looked very happy to meet such a big global star of the country. During this, Neeraj was also gifted Team India’s training jersey, wearing which Neeraj posed for photographs with all the players and support staff.
Neeraj was also junior world champion
Obviously learning from Neeraj’s example, achievements and experience would have been great for the Indian players. Before winning big tournaments like Olympic Gold, World Championship Silver and Diamond League, Neeraj had also made a mark by hoisting the country’s flag at the junior level. In 2016, Neeraj created history by winning gold in the Junior World Championship. In such a situation, after learning from the example of Neeraj, the Indian team will also do some similar charisma, the same hope will remain for Neeraj himself and the Indian fans.
