Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh: Another promising shot is Manu Bhaker who will be partnering with Sarabjot Singh to fight for bronze in the 10m air pistol mixed team category.

Sarabjot Singh himself is a good shooter and has the talent and the capacity to perform well under pressure though he didn’t make it to the finals of single event. Combined together they are a strong pair to contend for a top three position.
