Anish Bhanwala is set to compete in his third Asian Games in Japan, arriving with heightened confidence after completing his training camps. The Commonwealth Games gold medalist aims to leverage his prior continental experience to surpass his 2022 bronze medal, while also honoring the legacy of late shooting legend Jaspal Rana.

  • Speaking at a tribute event for late shooting icon Jaspal Rana, Bhanwala confirmed his preparations are complete and he is departing for Japan immediately, per GN sports/multisport (en-US). The 24-year-old emphasized that his previous two continental campaigns have provided the necessary experience to perform at his peak in his third consecutive appearance.
