Jadhav-trained runner maintained his rhythm beautifully to seal the race with authority in the closing strides.
Little John (J: Antony Raj S., T: Dallas Todywalla) stayed on gamely to finish second, clocking 1:51:900, after briefly threatening the leader in the final 200 metres. Close behind came Brasilier (J: K. Pranil, T: P. Shroff), who fought on well for third place with a time of 1:52:164, ensuring a thrilling finish to the 1800-metre contest.
