BCCI made the winning bid of a staggering INR 1.5 crore for India’s star athlete Neeraj Chopra’s javelin. It was carried out when an e-auction of PM Modi’s collection of mementoes was held in 2021. Chopra, who won the gold medal in men’s category of javelin throw in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, presented one of his javelins to the Prime Minister when the latter hosted Indian athletes after the mega sporting event.
