Mairaj Ahmad Khan is 40 and is gunning for an Olympic gold in shooting. The strapping Mairaj from Khurja in Uttar Pradesh accomplished what many generations of Indian skeet shooters could not, as he won the Olympic quota place in the high-precision event, in the World Championship in Lonato, Italy in September 2015. When young, my only dream was to play the cricket World Cup,” says Mairaj. The six-time Asian champion Manavjit, who has two World Cup gold medals apart from the World Championship gold, could not strike his best form in the last three Olympics. Cricket’s loss has been shooting’s gain, even though Mairaj grew up dreaming about representing the country in the cricket World Cup.
