New league aims to lift Indian shooters out of cricket's shadow
Gulf Today
|July 23, 2025
Indian shooters, like most Olympic athletes in the country, are accustomed to being the poor cousins of their cricket counterparts but a new franchise-based league wants to change that.
-
The Shooting League of India (SLI) will start on the outskirts of Delhi in November with six to eight teams, each an eclectic mix of the sport's global stars and local talents.
"Despite our consistent performance in the Olympics and other events, shooting does not have the kind of visibility it should have here," National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) President Kalikesh Singh Deo told Reuters.
"The league will, hopefully, give some visibility to our shooters, popularise shooting overall and increase our mass appeal."
Each franchise will have a 12-member squad -- six men and six women -- with up to four foreigners in their ranks.
