Such was the dominance of Indian shooters that Mehuli is the eighth shooter to make this list. Mehuli finished with a total score of 205.0 after 20 shots, which was the number of shots allowed in Rio. Her total is more than that of Yi Siling of China, who finished in the Bronze position two years prior to the CWG.

Ghosh also finished second in the 10m Air Rifle event. A shoot-off took place between Mehuli and eventual Gold medallist Martina Veloso after they had both shot a total of 247.2, creating a new Games Record in the process.
