How Angad got to the record?

Mairaj missed a couple of targets to yet again go down to the youngster after the now-famous quota-winning 1-2 run by the duo earlier this month at the Asian championships in Qatar. Mairaj also had a splendid day, shooting a world record himself, a perfect 125 in qualifying to breeze into the final. Both Angad and Mairaj will be credited with National records, however.
