Jyothi Surekha Vennam and her debutant partner Ojas Deotale were at their ruthless best while prevailing over Chinese Taipei 159-154 as India grabbed the compound mixed team archery gold to open their account in the World Cup Stage 1 in Antalya on Saturday.
This is India's second World Cup gold medal in the mixed compound event.
Jyothi and veteran Abhishek Verma had clinched the maiden gold in World Cup-3 in Paris 2022.
In the absence of India's multiple World Cup winner Verma, who failed to make the cut from the national trials, the new-look Indian pair hardly looked short on experience and hit the centre an incredible 15 times from 16 arrows to defeat their 12th-seeded opponents in a lopsided final.
Of the 15 perfect 10s, 12 times they hit the X (closer to the centre).
The second seeded Indian duo of Jyothi and 20-year-old Deotale dropped just one point only once in the final end, otherwise it would have been a perfect 160/160.
There was no stopping Jyothi and Deotale. They drilled in a string of perfect 10s to race to a 120-116 lead in the penultimate end.
The second end was a fairy tale affair as they hit the X all on their four attempts to make it 80-76.
