Suruchi Inder Singh Phogat (born 28 April 2006), also known as Suruchi Phogat, is an Indian sports shooter who specializes in the 10 m air pistol event. Singh gained international recognition by winning three back-to-back gold medals at the 2025 World Cup.
Early life Suruchi was born in the Sasroli village of Jhajjar district in Haryana, into a family with a strong sporting lineage. Her father, Havildar Inder Singh, initially aspired for her to pursue wrestling, inspired by his neighbour, Virender Singh, a Deaflympics gold medalist. But she gravitated towards shooting and began her training aged 13 at the Guru Dronacharya Shooting Academy in Bhiwani under coach Suresh Singh. During the pandemic, she kept her practice going at a makeshift range.
