India’s veteran and star snooker Pankad Advani has won the National Snooker Championship by continuing his brilliant performance. This is a total of 36th national and 10th male snooker title of Pankaj’s career. Advani, playing for ONGC, overcome Brijesh Damani in the final, recovering from a poor start. Damani started well by winning the first frame, but after that he did not have one in front of Advani.
The team will be decided on the Asian-Wise Championship on the basis of performance
Based on the performance of this competition, the Indian team will be selected for the Asian and World Championships. Advani maintained continuity and accuracy in his performance. Despite falling behind a frame, he maintained his patience and then made no mistake. Advani gave an impressive break of 84 in the final frame and made the frame, match and championship in his name.
Pankaj-Damani will play in Asian Snooker Championship
Damani defeated Advani in the group phase but in the final he could not retain his rhythm against this experienced player. Advani was successful in winning only one frame in a group phase match against Damani. The Asian Snooker Championship will begin on February 15 in which Advani and Damani will represent India.
After winning the championship, Advani said, it was the only competition on which Indian representatives will be selected to participate in international competitions. Therefore, there was a lot of claim in this competition. It looks great by winning the gold medal here. At one time in the competition, I was on the verge of being out. Then I came to know that this important moment should mean something big. I am happy to get a chance to represent India again in both billiards and snooker.
