Star Indian swimmer Srihari Nataraj continued his record-breaking spree at the FINA short course World Championships here on Monday, registering his third Best Indian time in the tournament.

Nataraj, 20, clocked 48.65s in the men’s 100m freestyle event to better Sajan Prakash’s best Indian performance. However, the timing wasn’t enough to take the Bangalore swimmer to the semi-finals as he finished 38th in the overall heats and only the Top 16 swimmers move forward.
