World champion at 18! Oh that feeling. Me and Yuvraj were talking about it the other day recalling our under-19 World Cup win. But Gukesh isn’t just a junior champ but the best in the world. Enjoy the time, this memory will stay with you forever.@DGukesh #worldchesschamp pic.twitter.com/DuOittnha3

One for the bat nerds out there.. the bat I’m currently using is a 2 lb 10.5 oz which I first used in the 2019 Ashes. I would love to know how many cricket balls this bat has hit, but it’d be a pretty high number..
