Tezzbuzz Desk– The sixth day has brought great news for India in the Asian Games 2026. Indian players have added another gold to the country's medal tally by performing brilliantly in shooting. In the 10 meter air pistol mixed team event, the pair of Kamaljeet and Suruchi Inder Singh performed brilliantly and won the gold medal. With this victory, India has got its second gold medal in the Asian Games 2026.
Earlier, the women's cricket team had won the gold medal for India. Now in shooting, the pair of Kamaljeet and Suruchi have given another big occasion of happiness to the Indian team by winning the gold medal. The special thing is that India had to face continuous disappointment in pistol shooting in this Asian Games. In many competitions, Indian shooters were in the race for medals, but could not win medals. In such a situation, the success achieved in this event was very special. Kamaljeet and Suruchi had performed brilliantly in the qualification round of 10 meter air pistol mixed team event. The Indian pair secured first place with 587 points and made it to the finals. After this, both of them maintained their level of performance in the finals and won the gold medal by scoring 484.6 points.
This is also India's first medal of this Asian Games in pistol shooting. The special thing was that this success was achieved in the last event of this competition. Earlier, India had to wait for a medal in pistol shooting. Kamaljeet and Suruchi ended that wait and added another gold medal to India's medal tally. At the same time, India got another success in shooting. The Indian team won the silver medal in the team event of Rifle Three Positions. In this way, shooting added both gold and silver to India's medal tally at the same time.
India has already won several medals in shooting in the Asian Games 2026. From the women's 10m air rifle team and individual events to the men's 10m air rifle and skeet events, Indian shooters have consistently won medals. Now India has registered its presence with gold in pistol shooting also. This victory of Kamaljeet and Suruchi is also important because both of them performed brilliantly under pressure in the mixed team event on a big stage like the Asian Games. His gold has further strengthened the medal campaign of the Indian team. At the same time, the silver in rifle three position is also another big achievement for India. The expectations of more medals from Indian players have increased in the upcoming matches of the Asian Games.
