Re: Vidit Santosh Gujrathi WR#47 Oct 2016

Prashanthm, it may be very well true that Adhiban cracked Top 50 earlier. I hope he makes a comeback to top 50 soon.

Re: Vidit Santosh Gujrathi WR#47 Oct 2016

Seems like Vidit is the 4th Indian to reach top 50. After Anand, Sasikiran was probably the second Indian to make it to top 50 and he was ranked as high as 26th in May 2012. Later Harikrishna joined the club and made it to top 10 just few days back.

Re: Force India

Its a tough fight between Force India and Williams for the 4th spot. Force India was not expected to give a fight to Williams, but here they are almost even. The next two teams fighting for the 6th spot are way too behind. There is no contest for the top spot as Mercedes is in class of its own. Howe...

Re: Rio Summer Olympics 2016

Till 1999, when LP/MB became doubles #1, I think we had only had Anglo-Indian Wilson Jones in Billiards as the only one who had been #1 in any sport in the world (if I am not mistaken). A decade and half later, we have some young ones pushing for the top spot, which is so nice to see (and of course...
