India's good run in ISSF World Cups continued with them finishing on top of yet another stage.

At the World Cup held in Changwon, Korea India finished with an overall haul of 15 medals, including five gold, six silver and four bronze medals.

On the final day of the championship on Wednesday, the Indian trio of Anish Bhanwala, Vijayveer Sidhu and Sameer won silver in the Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Team event.

They lost to the team from Czech Republic 15-17 in a nerve-wracking final.

In the other event of the day, the only Indian pair of Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Mufaddal Deesawala finished ninth out of 17 teams with a score of 138/150 to finish outside the medal bracket.

India won all five ISSF World Cup stages in 2019, one in the curtailed 2021 season and yet again this year in the first stage in Cairo, Egypt.

Cairo will also be the place for the next assignment of the Rifle/Pistol squad with the much-awaited ISSF World Championship scheduled in October this year.
