Superfan ranjith

For Ranjith Kumar Ravichandran: For Ranjith Kumar Ravichandran, a die-hard fan of Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra, it was nothing short of a dream come true as his travel and stay to witness the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic has been sponsored by none other than the reigning world champion himself.

Ranjith, who hails from Coimbatore, had taken to social media to ask for help in attending India’s first international javelin competition slated for Saturday evening in Bengaluru. "If anyone can sponsor me ₹2,000, I can go to watch this from Coimbatore," he posted on X on June 25.

Neeraj replied a day later, offering him a complete VVIP experience and a five-star hotel stay. “Hi, Ranjith. You've got a full VVIP experience waiting for you in Bengaluru because your trip to @nc_classic is on me! And thanks to @RadissonHotels, you'll be staying about 90 metres away from me. See you soon!” Chopra posted.
