The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), the governing body of the Olympic sport of shooting in India, announced a 33-member team to compete at the Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Former 10m air rifle world champion Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil, who didn’t feature in the recently concluded World Championships in Baku, finds himself in the squad based on the selection criteria for Paris quota winners.

Ashi Chouksey replaces Tilottama Sen in the women’s air rifle squad in Hangzhou. She will be shooting in both the women’s rifle events, given that none of the top three women’s air rifle shooters shoot in the 50m three positions (3P) event.
Moreover, the Asian Games allows for only five entries each in the men’s and women’s rifle events. Ashi got the nod as the highest-ranked rifle shooter in the women’s 3P squad.
The rest of the selections were made based on player rankings following the National Selection Trials 5 and 6 for Group A rifle and pistol shooters.
Find below the names of the shooters who will be flying to Hangzhou -
