'Cheeky' Gukesh Under Pressure: Can The World Champion Find His Way Back? | First Sports
D Gukesh is preparing for the biggest test of his career yet as he will defend the World Chess Championship against Javokhir Sindarov later this year. But the reigning champion goes into that title defence on the back of a tough stretch, dropping to World No. 19 and finishing last at Norway Chess 2026. However, his recent exchange with an online troll, Magnus Carlsen's comments on Sindarov, and Gukesh's own admission about struggling to find new motivation have only added to the scrutiny around his form. Rupha Ramani dissects what is behind Gukesh's slump, and whether this is just a blip before the World Championship.Meanwhile, there are also questions around the conditions awaiting Asia's top cricketers at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan. India and Pakistan are among the boards concerned about the recently converted Korogi Sports Park, its relatively untested hybrid pitch and player accommodation in Nagoya. The ACC is set to inspect the facilities ahead of the cricket tournament, which begins on September 17. Rupha Ramani looks at whether the venue is actually ready to host international cricket and what it means for player safety and preparation.
