In a nail‑biter of a contest, India’s shooters edged into silver with 1,762 points, falling just four behind China’s 1,766 after a perfect run across kneeling, prone and standing positions.
The men opened with 294 in the first kneeling series and added 587 in the second, before racking up 297 points in each of the two prone rounds. With 291 each in the two standing series, they tied China’s score and secured the narrow margin.
China’s gold came with a 1,766‑95x score, while South Korea picked up bronze with 1,751‑87x. The trio celebrated in the medal ceremony, with the coach praising their composure under pressure.
India now turns its focus to the individual finals, where each shooter will aim to turn the silver into a gold in the coming week.
