In 2018, when a young lad from Meerut was chosen over star shooter Jitu Rai, many sports observers frowned. However, he proved everyone wrong with a historic show at Jakarta Asian Games 2018. He won gold at the young age of 16, in a discipline that has been a playground for South Korea over the years.

Since then, Saurabh Chaudhary has never looked back. One of the top contenders from India, Saurabh could win a historic Olympic gold medal on debut. In addition to a historic gold medal from Youth Olympics, Saurabh has a gold medal from the ISSF World Cup and ISSF Junior World Championships as well.

So what makes Saurabh a prime contender for a historic gold medal? He is one of the only few players who has been extremely consistent with his performances. Apart from that, he is the rare player who could beat the Koreans at their own game. Let it be known that the South Koreans are the undisputed pistol champions. Despite that, not a single Korean champion has been able to beat Saurabh in his unconventional tactics.
