Esha Singh edged out her rivals in a four‑shoot‑off duel to claim silver in the women's 25m pistol.
The win was a highlight of a day that saw India haul seven medals, pushing the tally to 38 across 4 golds, 17 silvers, and 17 bronzes.
Ancy Sojan Edappilly leapt 6.53m in the long jump, falling just two centimetres short of gold, while Sarvesh Kushare cleared 2.25m in the high jump but lost on countback.
In squash, Abhay Singh and Anahat Singh both clinched silver in men's and women's singles, completing a double for the nation; meanwhile Parul Chaudhary set a national record in the 3000m steeplechase for bronze.
India now sits 12th in the medal standings, and tomorrow's athletics finals—400m hurdles, long jump, and more—offer another chance to climb.
