All praises
Netizens heaped praises on him for his dancing skills.
"Bro casually dancing after winning the Olympiad for India," one of the users wrote on Insta.
"Never thought of seeing this side of Gukesh," another user commented.
The teenage sensation had won 9 out of 10 games, helping India win the historic gold medal at the Chess Olympiad.
Gukesh, along with other members of the gold-medal-winning Indian men’s and women’s team, was felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month.
