Moreover, Ramita and Mehuli have also qualified for the individual finals, an event that ran parallel with the team event. China's Han Jiayu has set a new qualification record with a score of 634.1 - 0.1 over the previous record set by another Chinese Zhao Ruozhu in 2019.

Rifle shooter Ashi Chouksey after winning the medal told ANI, "It's a very proud moment for us that it's the first medal for the Asian Games. We were prepared and confident that we would get a medal. This is my first medal for the Air Rifle. I am happy for the medal..."

Meanwhile, the second medal of the day was won by the duo of Arjun Lal Jat and Arvind Singh, who finished just marginally behind China in the final of men's rowing lightweight double sculls, reported ANI. 

The army men who had finished in the 11th position at the Tokyo Olympics clocked 6:28:18s in Men's Lightweight Doubles Scull Final A to win the second silver medal for India at the Asian Games.

They fell marginally behind the Chinese pair of Fan Junije and Sun Man who secured the top spot by clocking 6:23:16s.
