The going seems to be getting better and better for India in the ongoing 2014 Commonwealth Games. On the second day, India stamped yet another indelible impression in Glasgow after 16-year-old Malaika Goel shot down a silver in the women's 10m air pistol event. This was soon followed up by Abhinav Bindra's gold-medal winning performance in the men's 10m air rifle event.

Bindra shot a fantastic total of 205.3 in his Commonwealth swansong, taking the lead from Ravi Kumar midway through the competition.

World No.15 Malaika bagged the silver with a total of 197.1 points while the gold was clinched by unfancied Singaporean shooter Shun Xie Teo with a score of 198.6. The bronze went to Dorothy Ludwig of Canada with 177.2 points.
