The 22-year-old Animesh Kujur's timing in Vari shaved 0.02 seconds off the previous national record - Gurindervir Singh's 10.20 from the Indian Grand Prix 1 in Bengaluru logged back in March. It was also 0.9 seconds better than his previous personal best in the 100m - 10.27s.

Animesh Kujur already holds the men's 200m Indian national record of 20.32 seconds, which earned him a bronze medal at the Asian Athletics Championships 2025 in Gumi, the Republic of Korea, earlier this year.
