Indian Shooters Set World Record at ISSF World Cup

In a historic display of skill at the ISSF World Cup in Granada, Spain, April 2026, Indian shooters Palak and Mukesh Nelavalli achieved a stunning victory in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event.

Although the duo entered the final match in second place after qualifying behind the Chinese team, their composure and technical precision proved unmatched during the final showdown.

Mukesh, a junior world champion making his senior debut, and Palak, already a star after her 2023 Asian Games performance, demonstrated remarkable teamwork.

This record-breaking success highlights the impressive depth of talent currently rising within the Indian shooting circuit.

Experts view this achievement as a major confidence boost for the young athletes and a clear indicator that India is becoming a dominant force in international shooting competitions.

Their performance in Granada serves as a powerful signal of the country's growing potential to contend for top honors on the global stage for years to come.
