R. Vaishali (2442) and R. Praggnanandhaa (2648) (India)
Seldom has a sister-brother duo promised to influence their teams’ results as much as these siblings from Chennai. Making their Olympiad debut, not too far from their home, Vaishali and Praggnanandhaa are capable of providing the cutting edge in crunch games. In the company of higher-rated teammates, they can absorb the pressure better and perform without letting the occasion get to them. With coach R. B. Ramesh around, expect this duo to provide the sparks.
