TN Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin honours Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa and Chithambaram for top performances at international chess events
New Delhi [India], June 12 (ANI): The Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi Stalin, congratulated the Tamil Nadu chess players, world champion D Gukesh, Aravindh Chithambaram, and R Praggnanandhaa for securing top positions in the international chess tournaments held in Norway and Armenia. A press release from the state government said, 'The Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr. Udhayanidhi Stalin, today (12.06.2025) extended his congratulations to: D. Gukesh, the reigning World Junior Champion and recipient of the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award, for securing third place in the Norway Chess Tournament, Aravindh Chithambaram, for clinching first place in the Stepan Avagyan Memorial Chess Tournament, and Praggnanandhaa, for securing second place in the same tournament.' Chithambaram, by winning the Stepan Avagyan Memorial Chess Tournament, has now entered the top 10 of the FIDE world rankings. It is noteworthy that he also won first place in the Masters section of the Chennai Grandmasters Tournament held last year in Chennai, conducted by SDAT (Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu). Both Gukesh and Praggnanandhaa are beneficiaries of the Tamil Nadu Government's Elite Scheme for outstanding sportspersons, implemented through the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu. Under this Elite Scheme, sportspersons who win medals in international competitions are provided with an annual grant of Rs 30 lakh to further enhance their skills. This financial support helps them acquire advanced sports equipment, train under world-class coaches abroad, and consistently participate in international competitions to showcase their talent. With three of the four Indian players ranked in the world top 10 in chess hailing from Tamil Nadu--thanks to victories in tournaments like the Norway Chess and the Stepan Avagyan Memorial--this achievement highlights the significant impact of the Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu's efforts in making the state a global leader in the field of sports. This event was also attended by Atulya Misra, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary of Youth Welfare and Sports Development Department, and Mr. J Meghanath Reddy, IAS, Member Secretary of the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu.

Watch: 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi breathes fire with bat; video goes viral
Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Screengrabs) NEW DELHI: India's cricketing future appears to be in safe and sensational hands. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old prodigy from Bihar and Rajasthan Royals ' latest find, has once again captured national attention after smashing a jaw-dropping 190 off just 90 balls in a practice match at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The video of his explosive knock, recorded during an India Under-19 team camp, has since gone viral, sending social media into a frenzy. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Watch: This latest innings adds to the rapidly growing legend of Suryavanshi, who has already rewritten the record books in his debut IPL season. Poll Do you think Vaibhav Suryavanshi will become a future star in international cricket? Yes, absolutely! Maybe, if he keeps performing. No, it's too early to tell. This year, the teenager became the youngest-ever centurion in men's T20 cricket when he hammered 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, a blistering knock that included the second-fastest century in IPL history, off just 35 deliveries. Suryavanshi made his IPL debut against Lucknow Super Giants under unexpected circumstances, stepping in for the injured Sanju Samson. He made an immediate impact, smashing his very first ball, bowled by Shardul Thakur, for six, and finishing with a quickfire 34 off 20 balls. By the end of the season, he had tallied 252 runs in seven matches, cementing his place as one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket. 'Nitish Kumar is a guy who can bowl that magic ball': India bowling coach Morne Morkel His IPL journey began in unprecedented fashion when, at just 13 years old, he was picked up by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.1 crore during the 2025 auction, making him the youngest player ever to sign an IPL contract. But Suryavanshi's brilliance isn't limited to T20s. He notched a 58-ball century in a four-day match against Australia U-19, played a key role in India's run to the final of the 2024 ACC U-19 Asia Cup, and famously scored an unbeaten 332 in the Randhir Verma Tournament, a remarkable triple-century in junior cricket.
