Bindra, who has already won nine medals including three gold in pairs events, was calmness personified as he did not put a foot wrong in the final round, having finishing third in the qualifications at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre,Dundee.
Bindra, first Indian Olympic individual gold medallist, shot an aggregate of 205.3 to set a new Final Games Record. This is first CWG, which applied the ISSF rule of taking the final round score only and not adding the qualification score in shooting.
"It was a well-earned medal because I work hard and I am happy to have achieved the feat. I got the desired result."
Asked if Rio 2016 would be his last Olympics, he said, "I will take on thing at a time. I will decide later."
