The Indian men's 4x400 metre relay team impressed at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. The quartet of Muhammed Anas, Amoj Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal Variyathodi and Rajesh Ramesh ran 2 minutes 59.05 seconds in the heats, breaking the Asian record. They became the first Indian relay team to reach a World Championships final where they finished fifth with another sub-3 minute time. Though slightly disappointed with the 5th place result, India's standout achievement was their two splendid sub-3 minute performances in both the heats and final. Their exploits have made them household names and highlighted India's sprinting talent on the global stage.
