World Championships finalist Sachin Yadav, along with a host of elite competitors, will grace the event, generating significant excitement.

Sachin Yadav, fresh off a commendable fourth-place finish with a throw of 86.27 meters at the 2025 Tokyo World Championships, is aiming to kick-start his 2026 season with a strong performance in the men's javelin. He will face stiff competition from fellow athletes, including promising javelin thrower Shivam Lohakare and two-time Asian Games champion Tajinderpal Singh Toor.

Away from the field events, the men's 100m dash is set to be a nail-biting contest.
