CWG 2022: Babar Azam, Boria Majumdar, and salute Arshad Nadeem for bagging gold – It is to be noted that Nadeem does not have proper facilities in Pakistan for javelin throw. Whatever he has managed is with sheer hard work and talent. Renowned cricket expert Boria Majumdar lauded that fact and was impressed that Nadeem defied odds and made Pakistan proud by sheer commitment.
Jism toota howa tha per himmat Himalaya se bhi buland thi.
Salute to you my brother #ArshadNadeem for bringing another gold for Pakistan in #CommonwealthGames2022.
You made the nation proud. 🌟🏆🙌#PakistanZindabad pic.twitter.com/sJ0jQGOqnY

Azam was also left in awe of Pakistan’s javelin thrower and appreciated his momentous feat. Azam, who has won everyone’s hearts by his generous effort to Pakistan’s other CWG Gold winner Dastagir Butt this time will be keen to reward Nadeem too. Cricket has always hogged the majority of the limelight in Pakistan and other sports gets overshadowed. With this stellar performance in CWG 2022, Nadeem and Butt will be hoping things turn for good.
