Sarabjot and Arjun Singh Cheema sparkled in patches but could not make it to the men's 10m air pistol final.
While Sarabjot finished ninth with a total score of 577 in the qualifications, Arjun ended way behind at 18th with 574.
"No one can understand how Sarabjot feels like I do. I faced a similar situation missing out on a count back in 2008 Beijing Olympics," Narang, a bronze medallist in 10m air rifle event in 2012 London Olympics, wrote on his 'X' handle.
"Chin up @sarabjotsingh30 you have one more event.. You got this.. come back stronger and conquer the world my friend."
