“Without hesitation, he walked up to me and taught me the basics,” Bhagwat, who not just competed at the Nationals days later but also won a silver medal, says. “That moment changed my life and the entire credit for that goes to Sir.”
‘Sir’ is former India international shooter-turned-coach Sanjay Chakravarty, who passed away in Mumbai on Saturday due to Covid-19.
He was 79.
Bhagwat was one of the first shooters Chakravarty took under his wings. And from the years that followed, the Dronacharya Awardee produced shooters who have won hundreds of medals in international tournaments, including the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, World Cup and the Olympics.
