#MukeshChoudhary, #CSK's top wicket-taker in 2022, suffered a setback in the form of twin injuries and was even sidelined for #IPL2023.

“It’s challenging. Injury is not good. But it’s good that you start from zero, and you come to your best.”

#MukeshChoudhary: “I was fit last year (#IPL2024), but still I didn’t get my match practice, so I was not a hundred per cent. But #CSK has shown faith in me and brought me back this year (#IPL2025). So, I’m really happy.”

#Gukesh on #PaddyUpton: “I would like to give a lot of credit to Paddy. I lost game one and game twelve, two very important games, and it’s very tough to handle that in those moments. His teachings have really helped me overcome those moments.”

#Gukesh on accusation that #DingLiren deliberately lost in the last round: “...you come for the last game at a World Championship, you are pretty much dead at that point. We are basically two dead people playing chess. Mistakes happen in those moments.”

#Gukesh: "I’m very happy to see how proud our country is."

"Chess is a beautiful game. There is a lot to learn from it."

As he stepped out of the terminal, joy erupted. The cameras went berserk, and there were rhythmic chants of “Gu-kaaaae-sh, Gu-kae-sh!” The mirth was tectonic. The crowd seemed to converge on him. Everyone wanted a piece of him.

#Gukesh walked out of the airport terminal to be accorded a grand and boisterous welcome by the waiting crowd!

#Gukesh went into a lounge in his casuals and emerged in a blazer with his World Championship trophy in hand and the Indian flag draped on him.

#Gukesh's mentor & former coach #VishnuPrasanna: "The games where Gukesh refused a draw and just kept playing, those were what showed a lot of character. I think it was a very difficult match. There was no way to say which way it would go."

#Gukesh's mentor & former coach #VishnuPrasanna: "...Even though he’s won the match, I would not say he has shown so much difference between him and Ding or so many other players. To show that difference like #MagnusCarlsen, is a goal."
