\u201cThe idea of being part of the very first edition of (SLI) something this big is truly special,\u201d says Sarabjot, one of India\u2019s most accomplished young shooters, with gold medals at the World Championships, Asian Games, and ISSF World Cup, along with a bronze in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event at the Paris Olympics 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Players will be drafted into four competitive tiers \u2014 Elite Champions, World Elite, National Champions, and Junior & Youth Championships \u2014 ensuring a balanced blend of experience and emerging talent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Sarabjot, the format opens the door not only to high-level competition but also to valuable cross-cultural exchange. \"It is a fantastic opportunity to learn \u2014 to see how top shooters from other countries prepare and perform. I am excited to share experiences, connect with athletes from different cultures, and grow both as a shooter and a person,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The league\u2019s fast-paced format is also expected to make shooting more accessible and engaging for audiences. \u201cA platform like this will spark more interest among young people and bring shooting the recognition it truly deserves in India,\u201d Sarabjot noted. \u201cI hope many new fans are drawn into the sport through this league.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But beyond medals, what the 23-year-old\u2019s values most is connection and progress. \u201cI am looking forward to building new friendships, learning from every match, and making memories that stay with me. This league is more than just competition \u2014 it is a step forward for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
