Earlier, in the first leg on Sunday, Manavjit missed his target thrice as he shot 23, 23 and 22 in his first three rounds to finish the day one of qualification with a total score of 68.
Meanwhile, Chenai also failed to advance to the semi-finals after making a 19th-place finish. He shot 22, 23, 22, 24 and 23 in his five rounds to end with a score of 114.
India, who have sent their largest-ever contingent of 119 athletes in Rio Olympics, are yet to open their medal account in the ongoing Summer Games.
