It was a meeting of epic proportions when Ravichandran Ashwin bumped into Indian chess legend Viswanathan Anand on Sunday.
Ashwin posted a picture on Instagram, sharing his joy on meeting the five-time world chess champion.
'A fan boy moment and a flight journey to savour forever with the legendary @vishy.mindmaster' the off-spinner captioned the picture.
Earlier this year, in July, Ashwin ventured into the world of chess in the Global Chess League. He joined hands with Prachura PP and Venkat K Narayana to own American Gambits.
