International Master Vantika Agrawal said, It was such a proud moment to win the two golds, with both the men's and women's teams winning the gold medal after 100 years. We were so happy that after our victory against Azerbaijan, we started celebrating instantly. We even had a special victory dance, with Tania and Gukesh doing Rohit Sharma's and Messi's celebrations. This is just a milestone for me. I’ll keep working hard and aim to become a Grandmaster as soon as I can, constantly trying to improve my standards and ranking.
