This is India’s second gold medal of the Asian Games 2026 after the women’s cricket team defended their title earlier this week.

Kamaljeet and Suruchi shot a total of 484.6 in the final in which the top four pairs qualify for the medal round. They were followed by South Korea’s Suhyeon Hong and Gaeun Choo (478.0) in second place. The Koreans were 6.6 behind Kamaljeet and Suruchi, which showed the Indian pair’s dominance in the final.

Iran bagged bronze in the event with 415.8.

Surichi-Kamaljeet had earlier stormed into the final after topping the qualification with a strong performance at the Asian Games here on Friday, bouncing back from their disappointing outings in the individual events.

After registering a 196 in the opening series, the Indian pair raced to 391 at the end of second series after scoring 195, placing them within sight of making the finals with just 20 shots remaining. They aggregated another 196 in the the third series to take their tally to 587, which included 29 inner 10s.

This was India’s final chance for a medal in the 10m air pistol events after a disappointing start. Kamaljeet had ended ninth in the individual qualification, while Suruchi was 26th, with neither making the individual final. India also missed out on medals in both the men’s and women’s team events.
