R Praggnanandhaa impressed everyone by becoming the second Indian chess player ever in history after the legendary Viswanathan Anand to reach the final of Chess World Cup. He defeated Fabiano Caruana 3.5-2.5 in a tight semi-final clash to set up his match against five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen. While Praggnanandhaa has been quite impressive in the past couple of years, the challenge of facing a renowned player like Carlsen is always massive.

He claimed the top rank in the FIDE world chess rankings back in 2011 and only Garry Kasparov has spent more time as the top player in the world.
