Indian cue sports maestro Pankaj Advani yesterday clinched the 14th gold medal at the Asian Snooker Championship in Doha. With this latest win, he inches closer to an unprecedented achievement, winning the National, Asian, and World Snooker Championships in a single calendar year. Having already accomplished this feat in billiards, completing it in snooker
would make him the only player in history to do so in both disciplines.
Advani now holds five Asian snooker titles (across 15-red, 6-reds, and team formats) alongside nine Asian billiards titles, and his two Asian Games gold medals (2006, 2010) further highlight his dominance.
