India has been shining in the field of sports in the recent past. With a great medal tally at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, Indian athletes have done the country proud. Apart from athletics, the Indian contingent has also made a mark in the field of chess. 17-year-old chess whiz Rameshbabu Pragnnanandhaa has recently been in the news after he defeated the five-time reigning World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen at the FTX Crypto Cup. As was befitting the achievement, popular dairy brand Amul honoured the teenage chess whiz in their latest topical with a food twist. Take a look:
The post was shared by the official handle of Amul India on Instagram and Twitter. It clocked in over 68 thousand likes at the time of writing. "Teenage Indian grandmaster beats world chess champ for the third time," they wrote in the caption.
In the topical, Amul had made a sweet caricature of the Indian chess whiz R. Praggnanandhaa in their own characteristic way. He was seen moving the 'King' piece of a chess set with one hand while enjoying a buttered toast with the other. Meanwhile, the Amul girl could also be seen licking a slab of butter along with the Indian teen chess champ. "He's made great Pragguress," read the witty pun and the tagline proclaimed, "Amul: Rapid Breakfast!"
