Who is Sarabjot Singh?
This is not the first time Sarabjot Singh has made India proud at a major event. Sarabjot was a part of the Indian trio comprising Arjun Singh Cheema and Shiva Narwal, who beat China to win the gold in the 10m air pistol team event at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.
Sarabjot's success at the Asian Games was not just limited to the men's team event. He partnered with Divya T.S. to guide India to a silver in the 10m air pistol mixed team event.

Sarabjot was hurting after missing out on a medal in the 10m air pistol men's event three days ago. He confessed that he was under a lot of pressure and the bronze medal match against the top-tier South Koreans was "very tough".
"I'm feeling good, the game was very tough and there was a lot of pressure, I am very happy," said the 22-year-old shooter from Ambala after the bronze-medal finish.
