Neeraj's 'golden arm' did its magic in the fifth attempt, achieving a throw of 87.66 m. With this, he climbed to the number one position.
The one-day track and field meet will mark the return of Neeraj Chopra in action after the Indian suffered a muscle strain during training last month.
In the Stockholm Diamond League earlier this year, Chopra had thrown a personal best of 89.94m and had finished second.
