Nakamura Shows "Respect" To Gukesh, World Bows Down To India? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

D Gukesh's World Chess Championship win has earned him praise from the chess world. In a special gesture, world number 3 and American streamer Hikaru Nakamura has added Indian Standard Timings (IST) to his streaming schedule to pay his respect to Gukesh. Rupha Ramani looks at how India's rise in chess has changed the perspective of the world towards the country. In an exclusive interview one of India's golden generation, Vidit Gujrathi says the world is finally realising India's potential. That's not it. In an exclusive D Gukesh feels this is not his final goal.

Also on the show, Vinicius Junior wins FIFA's best men's player award after the drama of Ballon d'Or 2024. Vinicius afterwards took a dig at his Ballon d'Or snub earlier this year. Was this FIFA's way to calm an angry Real Madrid and Vinicius? Or is FIFA award voting system better than Ballon d'Or? And Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi met Saudi Arabia's deputy sports minister and the Cricket Federation President. Naqvi offered Saudi to help develop cricket structure and stadiums in the gulf nation. Is there an irony here and what's brewing behind this new friendship.
