It was also Patil's second senior world championship gold in his very first outing, having won the individual 10m air rifle event earlier.
India also picked up a silver and two bronze medals on the day to take their tally to five gold, one silver and five bronze, to maintain their second place behind China in the standings.
With the women's 10m air pistol team also making the gold medal match, that tally is certain to go up further by the end of the tournament.
The Indian team raced ahead 14-2 in the final against a Chinese side which had Yang Haoran (double Olympic gold medallist and two-time world champion), Lihao Sheng (Tokyo Olympics silver medallist) and Song Buhan (world championship silver medallist).
