Four players score 8.0/9

Both IM Krishna Teja N and FM J Ramakrishna were at 7.5/8 heading into the final round. Whoever won the game between the leaders, would have won the tournament as there was no one else who could catch up with them. Krishna defeated a must-win game and won the tournament. A draw would have left things to chance as Krishna's tie-break score was less but luckily for him it did not make a difference as he won the game and the tournament too.
