R Praggnanandhaa said he expects an exciting World Chess Championship battle between D Gukesh and Javokhir Sindarov in Geneva on November 24.

He highlighted the pair's recent form and their long-standing familiarity, and said defending the world title brings pressure he cannot fully understand without experiencing it.

Gukesh visited Neem Karoli Baba’s ashram ahead of the November 24 title clash in Geneva.
