The 23-year-old accumulated an aggregate score of 681 from the 72 arrows, while South Korea's KIM Woojin sat pretty at the top with 686 points.

Dhiraj started off with 57 points in his first set, but slowed down in the second and fell to 36th spot. After gaining a little bit of momentum, he started pressing and the points started to flow.

It was no looking back from that position for the Andhra Pradesh-born archer as the aggregates started to move at a quicker pace as the X-rings followed. At the halfway mark, he was placed 24th with 335. 

Dhiraj, then, accumulated 58, 54, 59, 58, 56 and 59 points to collectively score 681 points to finish fourth on the table.
