The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) had declared a 22-member Indian team for the Munich World Cup with double-Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker and Kiran Ankush Jadhav shooting in two individual events.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Elimination and qualifications to four of the 10 events on the Munich roster begin at 12.30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) with the two finals scheduled for 5.00 pm IST (ARW) and 9.00 PM IST (APM), respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India will field as many as three World Cup debutants in the two medal events of the opening day, with national champion Ananya Naidu in the women\u2019s event and Aditya Malra and Nishant Rawat in the men\u2019s event, starting for the first time at this level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arya Borse, the second Indian air rifle shooter, is also in her first senior year but has been in great form, making one individual final and winning two mixed team silver medals in the year\u2019s first two World Cup stages at Buenos Aires and Lima, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That leaves two-time Olympian and two-time individual World Cup gold medallist Elavenil Valarivan and Asian championships winner and four-time World Cup medallist Varun Tomar to don the senior mantle in the two events.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The thing is, the Munich range is familiar to most of the shooters, and they have all come here several times for other events on the European circuit also, so that should not be a problem. They have all settled down well and are shooting well in training, so let\u2019s see,\" quipped national rifle coach Deepali Deshpande during pre-event training on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
