NSCI Snooker: Ishpreet Chadha Outsmarts Pankaj Advani In Baulkline Final
India Snooker Tournament: After many hours of anxiety and hope, India’s rising star in cue sport, Ishpreet Singh Chadha, scored a psychological and career-boosting 10 frames to 7 win against the tough-nut-to-crack Pankaj Advani in the final of the Rs 32 lakh prize money NSCI Baulkline 4.0 All-India Snooker tournament at the NSCI Dome here on Sunday.
Chadha, who has a near 53 percent win record in professional snooker, and Advani were going neck-to-neck almost right through the nine-hour match (with intervals), but in the end, Chadha prevailed to collect a cool Rs.5 lakh as prize money. Advani received Rs 2.5 lakh.
Multiple-time World Champion in Billiards and snooker, Advani enjoyed a superior potting success when leading 4-3, but Chadha intensified his potting skills and consistency, and after a no-holds-barred match, Chadha held a 238-237 balls-potted score. The only century break in the final was a 122 in the 16th by Advani, after which Chadha closed out the final, set to 19 frames, in the 17th.
