The 20-year-old Jindal, who had won an individual bronze at the 2022 Asian Games last year, shot a total of 166.3 in the final to bow out in the sixth place.

Jindal had earlier finished fourth in the qualification round to make it to the final with an impressive score of 633. Tilottama Sen and Elavenil Valarivan had meanwhile finished 30th and 45th respectively.
