Budapest: India has secured a spot in the final of the men's 4x400m relay at the 2023 World Championships with an impressive performance in Heat 1 held in Budapest on Saturday.
Muhammed Anas, Amoj Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal, and Rajesh Ramesh, achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new Asian record time of 2:59.05.
They secured the second position, following the favourites USA, who completed the race in 2:58.47. Great Britain secured the third automatic qualifying spot with a timing of 2:59.42.
