Pair 1 is incorrect. Anand Pawar is a professional Badminton player, not a Chess player.
Pair 2 is correct. Akhil Kumar is a very well known Indian Boxer who won a gold medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and represented India at the Olympics.
Pair 3 is correct. Shiv Shankar Prasad Chowrasia, commonly known as SSP Chowrasia, is a successful professional Golfer who has won multiple titles on the European Tour and Asian Tour.
