India were expected to win at least two medals in the mixed team events, which made their Games debut, especially going by how well Indian shooters have been doing in the event overall. The favourites in the mixed team pistol event - Manu Bhaker and Saurabh Chaudhary topped the Stage 1 Qualification of the 10m air pistol mixed team Qualification with a total score of 582 at the Asaka Range. But they only managed to finish seventh in Stage 2.
