Advani sets his sights on a historic second double throne in the annals of CCI Classics. Fresh from clinching the Snooker Classic title just a 30 days prior, Pankaj now steels himself for the ultimate showdown in the grand finale of the CCI Billiards Classic 2024.
In a quarterfinal duel that saw smooth sailing against Peter Sheehan, Advani faced a formidable challenge in the form of 8-time world champion Peter Gilchrist—a force not to be underestimated.
With scores nearly leveled at the mid session interval and Advani on a pivotal 93-point visit, he orchestrated a breathtaking break of 436, catapulting his tally and securing a commanding 300-point lead.
Gilchrist responded with break of 180, which unfortunately ended in a mispositioned hand ball in an audacious bid for the top table, Advani wasted no time in launching a relentless offensive.
With an emphatic counter-reply of an unfinished 208, Advani comfortably sealed victory, punching his ticket to the Grand Finale against the formidable David Causier.
The upcoming showdown promises to be a grueling 4-hour battle between titans, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats, wondering if Advani can clinch his second double title.
Stay glued to the Sportal for updates, or better yet, witness history in the making firsthand at the Wilson Jones Billiard Room at the Cricket Club of India.
Until then, #cueincci.
