I think that's been a real hallmark. Match we had earlier. Solitary point. Haven't been able to draw level yet. Yes, but it goes long. Rankireddy Shetty. Good play. But they do struggle. Chirag Shetty who are cropped by a couple now. Thank you. Originally paired the two of them together when they were raw talents. Went away and he's come back. Matthias Bowe as well before that.
