Former Asian Games silver medalist Lakshay Sheoran will lead India’s challenge in men’s trap alongside veteran Zoravar Singh Sandhu and the upcoming Jaswinder Singh.

In the mixed team trap event, Lakshay will pair up with Neeru, while Zoravar will partner Preeti.
India’s only medal in shotgun events at this year’s ISSF World Cups has come in mixed trap with Kynan Chenai and Sabeera Haris striking bronze at Nicosia back in May.
Indian shotgunners drew blanks at the Buenos Aires and Lima legs, both of which featured all shooting disciplines – rifle, pistol and shotgun. The Nicosia leg, like Lonato, was also exclusively for shotgun events.
“The squad has settled down well and training in right earnest,” Indian shotgun shooting team coach Vikram Chopra said. “We even went out to celebrate Anant’s birthday on Tuesday and it was brilliant from a bonding perspective as well. This will be the last World Cup stage before the World Championships in Athens and it is important that things start falling into place at the right time.”.
As many as 551 athletes from 73 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) will compete at Lonato. Winners in each individual event will secure a spot at the year-end ISSF World Cup Finals in Doha.
