5 Indian debutants to watch out for at Rio 2016

4.Apurvi Chandela

India's Women shooting has seen a resurgence in recent times and 23-year-old Apurvi Chandela has certainly had a big role to play in that. She first came into the limelight, when in a tight final, she clinched the Gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

She then booked a quota for Rio by winning the bronze at the Changwon World Cup in 2015 and later that year, won her maiden medal- a silver- at the World Cup Finals in Munich.

Considered among the favourites for a medal at Rio, the Jaipur-born shooter will be looking to meet the lofty expectations and win India's first ever Women's shooting medal at Rio.
