He shot 596 out of 600 to become the second Indian junior ever to win a gold medal at the quadrennial event.

Jaspal Rana had won the gold as a junior in standard pistol in 1994.

India had won its first ever team medal in a junior competition on the opening day of the championships when they claimed bronze in the air pistol event.
