IT would be an understatement to say that pistol shooter Suruchi Singh has had a swell time so far this season.

- ANMOL GURUNG @ Chennai

IT would be an understatement to say that pistol shooter Suruchi Singh has had a swell time so far this season. Even after factoring the Indian shooters' considerable impression at the elite level in recent years, Suruchi's, who turned 19 not so long ago, exploits in the last three World Cups is quite a colossal leap. Three back-to-back individual gold medals in a competition of that magnitude is something that's unheard of as far as India is concerned. Moreover, what makes her tale interesting is the fact she was shooting at this level (senior World Cups) for the first time.
