India concluded the ISSF Shotgun World Cup 2026 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with a bronze medal earned by the pair of Vivaan Kapoor and Neeru Dhanda in the mixed team trap event. They secured third place after scoring 24 out of 30 in the final round. The gold medal was claimed by Chinese Taipei's Kun-Pi Yang and Wan-Yu Liu, who set a world record with a score of 36 out of 40, while Italy took silver with 33. This bronze medal is particularly significant for Neeru Dhanda, marking her first ISSF World Cup medal, following her success as the 2025 Asian champion in women's trap. Despite this achievement, India's overall performance at the World Cup was lackluster, with none of the skeet shooters reaching the finals and the men's trap team also failing to medal. The competition featured 284 shooters from 42 countries, with the next World Cup scheduled for July in Lonato, Italy.
