From cricket and chess to the Olympics and Paralympics, Indian sports icons showcased their prowess on the global stage, delivering moments that will be etched in history. Here’s a look at the year’s most significant achievements.
As a player, Gukesh is very tenacious, has great positional sense, and is very patient as he showed in his marathon victory against Wei Yi of China in the Budapest Olympiad, capitalising on a slight edge to claim a crucial point that propelled India towards the title.
India maintained their winning streak in the women’s section as Vaishali Rameshbabu and Vantika Agarwal secured victories with black pieces, leading the team to a 3-1 win over a strong Georgia side. Georgia, a former Chess Olympiad champion from 2008, was defeated by the Indian team.
