Indian shooter who won the Mixed 10m Air Pistol Team gold with Suruchi.
“This is my first gold medal at the Asian Games, so I am extremely happy about it. The Asian record being broken is also a very good thing. But during the match, we didn't know anything about it. It wasn't as if we were thinking about breaking the record or discussing it among ourselves. Nothing like that happened during the match.”
