''Outstanding performance, @Neeraj_chopra1. Your achievements consistently elevate our spirits'', he added.

Chopra on Sunday scripted history by winning the gold with a big throw of 88.17m in the men's javelin final at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

The 25-year-old has now become only the second Indian -- after legendary shooter Abhinav Bindra -- to simultaneously hold both the Olympics and World Championships titles.
