In the video, the man can be seen running towards the pole so that he could do a “desi style” pole vault.

However, if you look closely you will notice that the pole has been made by attaching a cot on top of a ladder, and it is taking three people to hold it together.

What left people stunned was the slow-motion part of the video.

The ‘jugaadu’ pole blew Twitter’s mind. Have a look at the comments.

Fabulous. With proper guidance they can win medals.

Please, pole vault. This is clearly खाट/मंजा vault. Far more superior version than poles.
