Gukesh on Dhoni’s Influence
Chess world champion Dommaraju Gukesh revealed that he adopted a calm approach under pressure by watching former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. "Dhoni is my inspiration when it comes to staying composed in challenging situations. I don’t react too much, and I can manage pressure well. His influence on my career has been significant," Gukesh stated.
2011 World Cup Final: A Lasting Memory
Gukesh also recalled the 2011 World Cup final, where Dhoni led India to victory with an iconic six against Sri Lanka. "That final is a cherished memory for every Indian cricket fan. I will always remember how Mahi sealed India’s win with a six," he said.
Gukesh's Historic Achievement
Gukesh became the chess world champion last year after defeating Ding Liren. He is the second Indian to achieve this prestigious title, following in the footsteps of Viswanathan Anand.
