Prachi, who was part of the Rajasthan team that won silver last year, was naturally delighted at finishing higher this time in Mayank Choudhary\u2019s company. With the calmness of a seasoned shooter, she hit 10.6 with her last shot when the teams were level 15-15. It was a nail-biting contest as Uttar Pradesh, including 14-year-old Dev Pratap, rallied from 2-10 to tie the scores.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Niyamicka Rana and Hardik Bansal (Delhi) beat Kanak and Partik Sheokhand (Haryana) 16-14 to claim the bronze medal. Kanak, a Khelo India Athlete from Rohtak, shot the best score during qualification.
