Teenagers seem to be taking over Indian shooting and the latest addition to this young list is Shardul Vihan, 15, who clinched a silver medal in the men's double trap event at the Jakabaring Range in Palembang yesterday. A couple of days ago, another junior shooter, Lakshay Sheoran, 19, climbed the podium to receive his silver medal in the men's trap event. Then, Saurabh Chaudhary, 16, shot gold in the 10m air pistol event.

Incidentally, both Shardul and Lakshay share a room at the Athletes Village here and have similar interests. The secret to their confident show at these Games is common too — Hindi music. "Shardul loves his music. Whenever I go into their room in the mornings, they play loud Hindi music in the hall. Shardul particularly thrives on the loud beats. It's fun to see these kids enjoying themselves and bringing glory to the nation at the same time," national shotgun coach and former India trap shooter Mansher Singh told mid-day yesterday.
