A sporting duo always gains attention on Social media, but if it is players from different sports, it explodes. This happened with the duo of Indian wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant, and Olympic gold medalist, Neeraj Chopra. The two shared a candid moment during a photoshoot for JSW Sports on Twitter.
“Always easier when you have a friend with you to face the cameras! Great fun doing this with Rishabh bhai,” wrote Chopra as the caption of the photo he shared. Pant retweeted by saying, “You’re already a pro, Neeraj! Good luck with training and hope to catch up soon”
Here is the tweet:

The fans had an outstanding reaction to the two modern-day players sharing a screen. While some users called them the future of Indian sports, others joked about Pant learning the one-handed 'Javelin shot' shot from Neeraj.
Here are some of the tweets:

The two share a great relationship and thus heaped praise on each other. “He is India’s golden boy. I don’t have words to express my excitement for what he did at the Olympics,” said Pant. Meanwhile, Neeraj Chopra said the two have had a similar start to their career and praised him for overcoming those struggles.
“Like me, Rishabh belongs to a regular family and had to travel long distances to follow his passion for cricket. His focus was always on his training, just like mine. It felt good to hear that he too had faced struggles and then achieved so much in his career," he said.
Rishabh Pant has been retained as the wicketkeeper batter in India's squad for the white-ball series against West Indies. Neeraj Chopra, on the other hand, is in the USA to prepare for his upcoming events.
