The shooter praised the increased exposure the Shooting League of India would bring to shooters. \u201cPeople would come to know us, and our personalities better, like we have seen with athletes from other sports like Neeraj Chopra, people would come to understand shooters more deeply,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also expressed his joy in playing in front of an Indian crowd, stating, \u201cPlaying in front of an Indian crowd, in front of my own people, brings in a different kind of feeling for me, it requires a different mentality and mindset. There exists this added desire to do well in such an environment.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When asked if playing in India would bring added pressure, he said, \u201cNot pressure, but enthusiasm.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 21-year-old also hoped that the league would help expand the shooting community further, saying, \u201cShooting is a great sport. India as a whole has a great shooting programme now and people also enjoy following the sport and our success. The league will present a great opportunity for people to gain an even more understanding about the sport and will help in increasing its popularity. The more people participate, the more competition will increase within India.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
