India Shooting Schedule for Asian Games 2023: Full India men’s and women’s schedule, players list, dates, timing

The Asian Games 2023 is all set to begin on September 23 in Hangzhou, China. At the continental event, India's shooting squad will be led by talented shooters like Rudrankksh Patil and Mehuli Ghosh.

Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil clinched gold at the 2022 ISSF World Championships (in the men's 10m air rifle event) held in Cairo. The in-form shooter also sealed a Paris Olympics quota for India. The 19-year-old is a strong contender for the top podium finish at the Asiad this year.

Mehuli Ghosh, who won a bronze medal at the 2023 ISSF World Championships in Baku in the women's 10m air rifle event, is also a medal contender at the Asian Games 2023. She also earned an Olympic quota for the country.

However, the gold medalists from the 2018 Asiad (in Jakarta), Saurabh Chaudhary (men's 10m air pistol) and Rahi Sarnobat (women's 25m pistol) could not make the Asian Games squad in 2023.

Nevertheless, a number of promising shooters (including both men and women) have made it to the squad this year.

Amongst them, Swapnil Kusale (men's 50m rifle 3-positions), Akhil Sheoran (men's 50m rifle 3-positions), Rhythm Sangwan (women's 25m sports pistol) and Manu Bhaker (women's 25m sports pistol) are strong medal prospects at the 2023 Asian Games.
