The shooters, like the athletics squad have been one of the most consistent players for India across all competitions and hopes were high once again in the Asian Games as well.

India returned with nine medals across all events with Rahi Sarnobat and Saurabh Chaudhary winning gold in the 25m pistol and 10m air pistol, respectively.

The Games was particularly successful as it threw up a number of talented teenagers who can prove to be real match-winners for India in the future.

While Chaudhary was the youngest Indian to win a shooting gold in the history of the competition, shooters like Shardul Vihan, 15, and Lakshay Sheoran, 19, won silver each in the double trap and trap competitions.

Deepak Kumar and Ravi Kumar in the 10m air rifle and Sanjeev Rajput in 50m rifle 3 positions were the other silver medallists while Abhishek Verma in the 10m air pistol along with veteran Heena Sindhu in the women’s 10m air pistol clinched bronze.

The duo of Ravi Kumar and Apurvi Chandela won bronze in the mixed 10m air rifle event too.
