Indian shooting sensation Manu Bhaker is set to make her much-anticipated return to international competition at the ISSF World Cup 2025 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This marks her first major event since her remarkable performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she clinched two bronze medals.
The 23-year-old will represent India in both the 10m air pistol and 25m sports pistol events, showcasing her versatility and determination. Bhaker’s comeback has been nothing short of impressive, as she dominated the national selection trials earlier this year, securing top positions in her events.
India has fielded its largest-ever contingent for the ISSF World Cup, with 43 athletes competing across rifle, pistol, and shotgun disciplines. The event, which runs from April 3 to April 10, features over 400 shooters from 45 countries, making it a highly competitive platform for the world’s best marksmen and women.
Bhaker’s return adds an extra layer of excitement to the Indian squad, which also includes seasoned shooters like Saurabh Chaudhary and Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar. The team aims to make a strong start to the 2025 shooting season and build momentum for upcoming international events.
As the competition unfolds, all eyes will be on Bhaker to see if she can replicate her Olympic success and inspire the Indian contingent to new heights. Stay tuned for updates on her performance and India’s journey at the ISSF World Cup 2025.
