Manu Bhaker, who won the Paris 2024's two medals of bronze, would be the captain of the Indian team for the year's first two World Cups. A 35-member squad for the upcoming two ISSF World Cups has been declared by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI). Buenos Aires, Argentina from 1st-11th April is the first World Cup's venue, while the second World Cup is from 13th-22nd April at Lima, Peru.

Manu Bhaker is the lone shooter chosen for the two individual events from this squad. She will begin her season with these World Cups and compete in the 10m air pistol as well as the 25m pistol events.
