Asian Games 2026: Manu Bhaker to compete in two events; NRAI names 30-member Indian shooting squad

India's hopes for another strong shooting campaign at the Asian Games 2026 received a boost as the National Rifle Association of India announced a 30-member squad featuring Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker in two events.

Manu, one of India's biggest shooting stars, will compete in both the women's 10m air pistol and 25m pistol categories. Despite finishing seventh in the latest 10m air pistol trials, NRAI officials backed her experience and ability to deliver under pressure on major international stages.
