Deepak, who serves the Indian Air Force, celebrated his 32nd birthday by winning a bronze medal in the air rifle event. More important, he helped India win their 10th quota place for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. India were represented by 12 shooters in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

A consistent shooter in air rifle, Deepak shot a steady 626.8 to finish third in qualification, before finishing behind two Chinese shooters in the final to nail the quota and the medal.
