In his post, Neeraj had written: “As the 2024 season ends, I look back on everything I’ve learned through the year – about improvement, setbacks, mentality, and more.
On Monday, I injured myself in practice and x-rays showed that I had fractured the fourth metacarpal in my left hand. It was another painful challenge for me. But with the help of my team, I was able to participate in Brussels.
