Definitely the worst Olympics campaign by far

For the first time India is below pakistan in Medal tally

Can you believe it? He's only 17, a year younger than Pragg. I was so disappointed when Vidit lost to Nepo in the 11th round, but now Gukesh is just one step away from being the world chess champion.

Gukesh is the youngest player ever to win the FIDE Candidates

June 29th will be remembered as a historic day in Indian cricket! Team India's sensational win against a formidable South African side in the T20 World Cup final was a display of remarkable resilience and skill. Despite facing challenges throughout the match, India's unwavering determination shone through in the final moments, securing a well-deserved victory. This triumph marks a significant accomplishment for Indian cricket and a moment of immense national pride


What I liked about today's match ...
 * Virat Kohli's impactful performance, earning him the Player of the Match title.
 * Jasprit Bumrah's stellar bowling throughout the tournament, rightfully being named Player of the Tournament.
 * India's exceptional bowling attack that restricted South Africa to a manageable total.

India's T20 World Cup Triumph!
