It looks like the tweet could be sent by Rishabh Pant himself. Interestingly, had edited the tweet instead of deleting it right after posting on the social media platform. 

Pant has been vocal towards the support of the athletes participating in the Olympics and also sent his best wishes before the multi-sport event began.

India's javelin ace Neeraj Chopra has a chance to make history in Paris as he has qualified for the Final of the Men's Javelin event with his first attempt clocking at 89.34m, barely away from the 90m mark.
