AWAY from prying eyes, Deepali Desphande has had quite a sojourn in the last decade or so. The rifle shooter-turned-coach has been part of the ups and downs the sport has been through during that period. She has endured heartbreaks along with the shooters, most notably during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and she has also been the first to celebrate their notable highs.

Her years of dedication to the sport that she is passionate about has been recognised as she is set to be handed the prestigious Dronacharya Award soon.
