Olympian Raiza Dhillon Named In India's Squad For Year's First Junior World Cup
Rapid Fire Pistol Junior Men: The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has announced a 36-member Indian junior squad for the upcoming first International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun, scheduled in Suhl, Germany, from May 19-27, 2025. The squad will participate in 15 events, including three mixed-team events.
Paris Olympian Raiza Dhillon will be part of the 12-strong shotgun squad, and two stars from the Peru World Cup, Mukesh Nelavali, who won five golds (and two bronze medals), and Divanshi, who won a double gold including a win in the women’s 25m pistol individual event, will be back to hopefully do an encore.
The select 36 will also be looking to continue India’s dominance in the junior circuit on the world stage, given that Indian colts easily dominated the final event of the international junior circuit last year, the Junior World Championships in Peru in October, topping with a whopping 13 golds.
