World Cup-medallist Niraj Kumar Feels Shooting League Will Help People ‘learn And Appreciate Sport’
Hungarian World Champion Istv: World Cup gold medallist and Indian shooter Niraj Kumar recently believes that the upcoming Shooting League of India (SLI) will make a significant contribution to the evolving landscape of the sport in the country by helping people understand and appreciate the sport.
Niraj, who delivered a standout performance at the 68th National Shooting Championships in Bhopal by securing a silver medal in the Men’s 50m 3P category, reflected on his professional journey and the upcoming Shooting League of India (SLI).
Kumar’s journey from a small border town in the Hoshiarpur district of Punjab to the national podium is a testament to the resilience required in elite sport. Beginning his path through the National Cadet Corps (NCC) in 2014, Kumar overcame significant financial hurdles and spent years convincing his parents to support his career in shooting. His eventual selection for the Indian Navy served as the turning point that secured his family's support for his ambitions.
