The Shooting League: With the Shooting League of India (SLI) set to introduce a franchise-based, mixed-team format to the sport, Indian rifle shooter and 2022 Asian Games gold medallist Akhil Sheoran believes the league could mark a turning point in how shooting is experienced—both by athletes and fans.

For Sheoran, the league arrives at a moment when Indian rifle shooting is at its highest-ever competitive level.
