NEW DELHI: For Nishant Dev to win a bronze medal at the boxing world championships recently, a substantial credit should also go to Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala – the famous orthopedic surgeon who saved star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra’s career with a timely and critical surgery back in 2019.
Back in 2010, Nishant had dislocated his right shoulder after a fall from the stairs. A rod was put on his shoulder that time. But, over the time, the rod got infected.
