In 2016, he became the youngest International Master in history - at 10 years, 10 months and 19 days. Two years later he became the then second-youngest GM (after Sergey Karjakin) at 12 years, 10 months, 13 days. At sixteen today, he belongs to the group of Indian teens who are throwing down the gauntlet on the world chess circuit.

Sachin Tendulkar also congratulated 16-year-old Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa for defeating world champion, Magnus Carlsen.

The Indian began on a disastrous note on Day 1, losing three games in a row. Day 2 turned out to be a world apart. Within the space of a few hours, he had a win each against two top-10 players - Levon Aronian and Carlsen. Further, to outwit a player of Carlsen's strength without the first-mover advantage of White, deserves even more credit.
