The duo combined for  an incredible 1400 points to improve their previous world record, set at Paris 2024, by one point.
Devi also secured the top seed in the compound women’s doubles after combining with Lalpati for a score of 1368.
Indonesia’s world number five Ken Swagumilang topped the compound men’s qualification with a season-best 704, including 23 Xs.
Swagumilang, the silver medallist at Nove Mesto 2026 and a bronze medallist at the last Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, will be looking to carry his strong form into the continental multisport event, which is just 41 days away.
Rakesh finished two points behind Swagumilang with a career-best 702, while reigning world champion and compatriot Toman Kumar was fourth with 696. Rakesh and Toman also combined for 1398 to secure the top seed in the compound men’s doubles.
