The triumphant Indian team, comprising the skilled shooters Manu Bhaker, Esha Singh, and Rhythm Sangwan, emerged as the undisputed champions in this prestigious competition.
The Indian contingent's remarkable feat was underscored by their impressive total score of 1759 points.

Esha Singh, another stalwart of the Indian shooting team, secured the fifth position with an admirable score of 586.
