Decathlete Tejaswin Shankar had a stunning outing on Day 1 of the National Federation Cup 2026 in Ranchi. Chasing the 8000-point mark, something no Indian has done before, he finished with 4511 points after five events. By the end of Day 1, the national record holder in both high jump and decathlon had already registered three personal bests, proving why he is regarded as one of the best athletes India has ever produced.
