Kushal Khandelwal has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.55, set at PB Smashathon Delhi 2019, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 656th in India. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2018, he has put 44 official solves on the record across one event.

Kushal has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
