Manu Bhaker set to represent India at the Junior World Championships in Lima next month

Indian shooting sensation Manu Bhaker will once again make her entry into the junior circuit. The 19-year-old, who had a disappointing campaign at the Olympics, will look to regain her form at the ISSF World Junior Championships in Lima.

After receiving heavy criticism for a string of losses in Tokyo, the Indian shooter will look to bring home an array of gold medals in this competition. The Indian is a favorite to win medals at the event, which is scheduled to start on September 27.

Manu Bhaker to star at the Junior World Championships in Lima

The World No. 2 in the women's 10 m air pistol event, Bhaker will compete in 5 events at the Junior Championships. The Indian shooter was absolutely stunning at the 2018 ISSF Junior World Cup in Sydney and Suhl. She grabbed headlines by winning 5 medals at World Cup 1 and 2 events. From there on, the Indian went to the international stage, where she won further medals for the country.
