Shanghai: India clinched a compound team gold medal to conclude their Archery World Cup Stage one campaign here on Saturday.
In the first major competition after last year's Rio Olympics, the recurve archers failed to make much progress with Atanu Das and Deepika Kumari making quarter-final exits in their respective rounds. But it was the non-Olympic compound section that brought back smiles in the camp with a superlative show from fourth seeded Abhishek Verma, Raju Chinna Srither and debutant Amanjeet Singh.
