Trailing behind state-mate Shiva Narwal by 0.5 points going into the final two shots of the 24-shot final at the 64th National Championship, Sarabjot hit 10 and 10.5 to Shiva's 10.1 and 9.3, to emerge victorious with 242.3 points.

The Indian duo was able to get the better of reigning Olympic champion in the event, Javad Foroughi of Iran in the four-man final, but not 2016 Rio Olympic champion Christian Reitz of Germany, who won gold.

The Indo-Iranian pair got the better of the French-Russian duo of Mathilde Lamolle and Artem Chernousov 16-8 in the gold medal match, in a late-evening match on Friday. Manu and Javad were placed third in qualification with a combined 582/600 to qualify for the first semifinal where they topped the field of four pairs to make it to the final. Lamolle and Artem came through by winning the second semifinal.
