Chess: Indian grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa is taking part in the Saint Louis Rapid and blitz chess tournament.
Apart from the regular updates, we’ll get you more reactions from Indian athletes who came back after participating at the Paris Olympics as well as those participating in the upcoming Paralympics.
What happened yesterday?
