India's Jaspal Rana battled illness and bitterness back in India to shoot an equal world record to win the men's 25m centre fire pistol on Friday and clinch his second individual gold medal in consecutive days as well as team gold.

The 30-year-old Rana, an Asian gold medallist at Hiroshima in 1994, shot a total score of 590 to match the world record set by Russia's Afanasijs Kuzamins in Zagreb in 1989.

However, the score has been previously levelled by four other shooters including Korea's Park Byung Taek and Jon Yonghe of China.

Weak and dizzy with viral fever, Rana -- Thursday's winner in 25m standard pistol final -- soon sped into the lead with three equal series shots of 98 for a total of 294 in the precision round.

Although he was outscored by China's rapid fire pistol silver medallist Liu Gouhui, who scored 298 in second round, the rapid fire, Rana's 296 at an overall average of 9.833 was enough to secure gold.

Liu ended three points behind to take his second silver of the Games, and Thailand's Jakkrit Panaichpatikum, who scored two equal rounds of 293, added a bronze to the one he collected in the 25m standard team event.

Defending champion, Kim Jong Su of DPR Korea finished sixth.

Rana was also on the gold medal rostrum as India won the team event. Korea claimed silver and China bronze.

Rana lambasted the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) and the sports ministry for treating him like an outsider in the build-up to the Games.

"I know the NRAI and the government will try and take the credit for my success but they have been of no help to me at all," Rana said at the Lusail ranges.

"The sports ministry does little to help the shooters and the NRAI did not even provide me ammunition for the last three months.

"I could not attend the Asian Games training camp in Bangalore because I did not have cartridges to practice with.

"My father had to borrow ammunition so that I could train at our private shooting academy in Dehra Dun.

"But I had a lot of support from teammates in Doha for the last 10 days and that helped me to focus better."

Rana, who was overshadowed by compatriot Samaresh Jung's five gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in March, said he was determined to prove himself at the Asiad.

"These Asian Games were big for me and the country, my goal was to do well here," he said.

"This win is not a comeback for me. I was always there, the only thing is that I was lying low.

"I have been running a fever for some days and was lucky to have my brother Subhash around who gave me medicines and took care of me."

Rana said he was unlikely to continue competitive shooting for long.

"I will be there for two or three years at the most," he said. "The people who matter in Indian sport know nothing about the sport of shooting.

"They don't have proper camps, no ammunition, no guns, still shooting is bringing home medals.

A team source, who did not want to be identified, blamed the Indian team's Hungarian coach Csaba Gyorik, for Rana's troubles with the NRAI.

"Many times it appeared that Gyorik did not want Jaspal in the team," the source said. "It seems that when Jaspal trained in Hungary in the 1990s he always beat Gyorik."
