On Thursday, he threw his third career-best throw in the Group A qualification round. His opening round effort of 89.91m placed him second to defending champion Anderson Peters of Grenada.
The silver medal won by Neeraj Chopra is historic. In 2003, long-jumper Anju Bobby George won a bronze medal for India at the World Championships.
The 88.13m mark of Neeraj Chopra in the final at Hayward Field fell short of Anderson Peters' gold medal-winning mark of 90.54m, while Jakub Vadlejch won the bronze with 88.09m.
In his last attempt, he managed 77.32m after fouling on his second throw. During last month's National Inter-State Championships, the 21-year-old Indian recorded a season's and personal best of 82.54m
