Bhaker secured the seventh Olympic quota for India as she finished at the fourth place in the women's 10m air pistol event of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Munich in May this year.
The young shooter shot 201.0 in the finals to secure the quota for the Tokyo Olympics 2020. It was the first quota for the Indian contingent in the women's 10m pistol category.
Earlier in April, Bhaker teamed up with Saurabh Chaudhary to clinch India's second gold at the ISSF World Cup in Beijing.
