The Indian troika held its nerves in the fourth and final end, as they shot a superb 59 to seal the gold, with Mexico managing only 56. Post the emphatic win, the trio struck their trademark poses for pictures and looked excited on top of the podium while receiving the elusive gold medals. It all followed with India’s national anthem, which echoed the land of China, making it a moment of great pride and joy for the nation.
