India at the ISSF World Championships 2023

The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) will fund the participation of a total of 34 Indian shooters, who will take part in the ISSF World Championships 2023 in Baku. Besides the shooters, 15 coaches, and eight members of support staff which includes the High Performance Director, will be present in Baku.

The 34-member Indian shooting squad led by the likes of Tokyo Olympians Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Manu Bhaker, and Divyansh Singh Panwar’s ultimate goal will be to earn quota places for the nation. The 46-year-old Zoravar Singh Sandhu, who represented India in the Shooting World Championships 25 years ago, has booked a spot for himself in the squad through a great outing at the National selection trials.

Meanwhile, the event won’t feature Rudrankksh Patil, Swapnil Suresh Kusale, and Bhowneesh Mendiratta, who have previously earned the quota for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Prominent shooters like Anjum Moudgil and Elavenil Valarivan aren’t a part of the championship as they narrowly missed out, finishing behind the qualified shooters at the trials.
