SHOOTING STARS (JITU RAI & ABHINAV BINDRA)

Jitu Rai is fast becoming the Sachin Tendulkar of Indian shooting. With seven medals this year, the 27-year-old marksman's winning streak is remarkable. The shooter bagged three World Cup medals in nine days in June -the 10m air pistol silver in Munich and a silver (50m free pistol) and gold (10m air pistol) in Maribor. He followed it up with the 50m free pistol gold in CWG Glasgow and the Asian Games. Abhinav Bindra has been saying he's a hobby shooter from now on. But on current form, the Olympic gold-medallist is India's best bet for a medal in 2016 Rio Games after clinching an elusive CWG gold and a bronze in Incheon.
