Pankaj Advani, the master of Indian cue sports, has once again demonstrated his talent on the global scene by winning a remarkable 14th gold medal at the Asian Snooker Championship in Doha.
At the Asian Snooker Championship in Doha, Indian cue sports master Pankaj Advani won an unprecedented 14th gold medal, demonstrating his talent once again on the global scene. The victory, which came days after he won the National Snooker Championship in Indore, further demonstrates why he is still the most renowned cueist in the nation. An already impressive record of honors is increased by Advani’s triumph in Doha. His two gold medals from the Asian Games in 2006 and 2010 further demonstrate his supremacy, and he currently holds nine Asian billiards titles and five Asian snooker titles (in the 15-red, 6-red, and team forms).He is getting closer to an unheard-of feat with this most recent victory: taking home the World, Asian, and National Snooker Championships in the same year. He would become the only player in history to complete this feat in both billiards and snooker, having already done so in billiards.
It was a duel of champions in the final versus Amir Sarkhosh of Iran. An early lead was taken by Sarkhosh, a former Asian and international IBSF 6-red snooker champion. Advani, however, who is renowned for remaining composed under duress, answered elegantly.He dominated the match with breaks of 93 and 66 and never looked back, outperforming his opponent with his trademark accuracy and tactical skill.
“Winning my 14th Asian title is extremely special, especially in snooker,” Advani remarked after his triumph. I’m overjoyed to have added another gold to my collection after such a challenging event. I intend to maintain this momentum and continue to bring honor to India. His legacy in cue sports history is further cemented by the victory. Everyone is excited to see if he can accomplish yet another milestone in an incredible career as he aims to win the World Snooker Championship later this year.
