"Indonesia VS India matchup? What ridiculous thing are you trying to cook again, Bagas?" Medina asked incredulously. "Not to mention that it is just a coincidence that we got three pairings against them in this round, but to call that a matchup? They didn't even have their best players! While I admit that Praggnanandhaa and Arjun are talented, they are still one level below compared to their best players! If we played against them, they would've whooped our ass already!"
In her mind, India's best players besides Vishwanathan Anand were still Vidit Gujrathi and Harikrishna Pentala, the two seniors who had been fighting alongside Vishy for so many years. While yes, the prodigies climbed faster than ever, even winning some individual medals in the last Olympiad, Medina still thought that they needed a few more years to dethrone those veterans and become the best in their country.
