Speaking to the media, Bhaker said, "I will be back for the training in November and to the match maybe by next year. I will follow all the action thoroughly. But my eyes will be on 10 metres event, the 25 metres event and the pistol events, since I am a pistol shooter."

"I do feel like competing. But before Olympics, my coach had told me to take three months off since I was facing injuries due to pistol recoil," she added.

Bhaker also expressed happiness at being able to spend time with her family.

"I am happy that I got a chance to spend time with my family after a long time. I eat homemade food and enjoy it a lot," she added.

Speaking about competing in the World Cup final, Bhaker said it is a fine platform for youngsters since only the "champions of champions" take part in this event.

"To play here is a big experience in itself. Players should make the most out of it, give their best and not be afraid," she added.
