PM Modi Congratulates Praggnanandhaa After Historic Norway Chess Triumph
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa after the 20-year-old became the first Indian to win the prestigious Norway Chess title, hailing the achievement as a reflection of his continued excellence on the global stage. Taking to X after Praggnanandhaa's historic triumph in Oslo, Modi wrote: Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa for this remarkable feat! This is indeed an incredible milestone that highlights his continued excellence. My best wishes to him for his future endeavours. The Prime Minister's words came as Praggnanandhaa recorded one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of elite tournament, defeating Germany's Vincent Keymer in round 10, and thus winning the event outright. The Chennai-based Grandmaster entered the 10th and last round half a point behind overnight leader Wesley So. As soon as So drew against Alireza Firouzja, the young Indian took the chance and converted a better middlegame position into a deserved win over Keymer in the 45 th move. He took 18 points, and he became one point ahead of the American, and his prize-money was $100,000. The accomplishment seemed much more spectacular given the scenario at the end of round six: Praggnanandhaa was at the bottom of the table with no other player ranked beneath him and his performance in Norway's most prestigious chess tournament seemed destined to disappoint. Then, the Indian pulled a phenomenal sprint finishing, winning the last four classical games, to make a comeback. The Chennai-based Grandmaster entered the 10th and last round half a point behind overnight leader Wesley So.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score Praggnanandhaa, who played with the white pieces against Keymer, had benefited from a few mistakes on the German's side in the middlegame and converted his advantage into a clear win. That win was an amazing comeback for a player whose world ranking had dropped to 16 on June 1. Carlsen ended fourth on 13 points (winning his last game against Gukesh), Firouzja was third on 15.5 points, Keymer placed fifth, and Gukesh, current world Champion, concluded last on six points.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape: South African great Jacques Kallis threw his support behind fellow Proteas all-rounder Marco Jansen, insisting the 26-year-olds best years are still ahead of him despite a relatively quiet IPL 2026 campaign. Jansen, who played for Punjab Kings in the recent season, took nine wickets in 13 matches and had an economy rate of 10.20. Though those numbers did not meet expectations, Kallis believes competing in different leagues and conditions is shaping the left-arm pace-bowling all-rounder into a more complete cricketer. In an interview with SA20, Kallis remarked, I think he still has a lot ahead of him that he can achieve if he really puts his mind to it. He is learning his game. It takes time to understand your style while playing in various leagues, in diverse conditions, in front of large crowds, and under pressure. You learn from every experience, and I think hes just getting better and better and learning from those experiences. I think he still has a lot ahead of him that he can achieve if he really puts his mind to it. Kallis confidence in Jansen comes from the all-rounders ongoing success in the SA20. He has become a key player for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history, Kallis scored over 25,000 international runs and took nearly 600 wickets during his remarkable career. Jansen again played an important role in helping the Men in Orange secure their third title in four seasons. He ended the tournament with 13 wickets and delivered a crucial spell of 3 for 10 in the final. This performance helped contain the Pretoria Capitals, despite a stunning century from Dewald Brevis. Kallis also noted the positive impact of the SA20 on South African cricket. He pointed out the rise of several young talents who have used the tournament as a stepping stone to opportunities worldwide. Among those benefiting are Connor Esterhuizen, Dian Forrester, and the Hermann brothers. Forrester made an impression with the Joburg Super Kings, leading to a spot with Rawalpindi in the Pakistan Super League, where he struck at 171.42 and averaged 44. His performance earned him a replacement contract with Chennai Super Kings. Esterhuizen, meanwhile, followed up a half-century in his debut international series for South Africa by securing a replacement player deal with IPL 2026 runners-up Gujarat Titans. Kallis believes these success stories highlight the growing impact of the SA20 in developing the next generation of South African cricketers. Esterhuizen, meanwhile, followed up a half-century in his debut international series for South Africa by securing a replacement player deal with IPL 2026 runners-up Gujarat Titans.
