Rewari se nikalkar international level tak — this is the power of sheer determination! Hats off to his parents for never letting him quit. We need more such stories in Indian sports. Best of luck for the Asian Games! 🎯
The transition from athletics to shooting is fascinating. Shows how versatile Indian athletes are becoming. Great to see shooting gaining more depth beyond the usual names. Rooting for him in Hangzhou.
Rewari is turning into a mini sports hub! First wrestling, now shooting. Kamaljeet's dedication is commendable — switching sports after an injury requires real mental strength. Wishing him a medal in his debut Asian Games! 💪
The athletes' parents often go unsung, but their sacrifice is the bedrock of such achievements. Kamaljeet saying 'they never let me quit' says it all. We need more encouragement at the grassroots level for shooting. All the best, champ!
Such a resilient mindset! It's not easy to pivot to an entirely new sport and reach this level in just a few years. This shows the depth of talent in India. I hope the federation gives him all the support he needs at the Games.
