In a thrilling quarterfinal clash, Abhishek Bajaj, India’s 6 Red Snooker Top 32 player and the current highest break holder, overcame reigning 15 Red Snooker State Champion Rrahul Sachdev in a tightly contested 5-4 victory at the BSAM presents Malabar Hill Club State Ranking Tournament 2024.
The match lived up to its billing, with both players delivering a spectacle of skill and temperament. With the scores tied at 3-3, Bajaj found his rhythm and produced a crucial 47 break in the seventh frame to edge ahead and put Sachdev under pressure.
But Rrahul, ever the fighter, wasn’t ready to concede. The experienced cueist clawed his way back, leveling the match at 4-4 to set up a dramatic decider.
In the final frame, the outcome boiled down to the critical brown-to-black sequence. A rare miss on the brown by Bajaj handed Rrahul his only opportunity, and he capitalized with precision on the brown and blue only to fall short on the pink that gave Bajaj another lifeline.
Calm and composed, Abhishek potted a pink which could be counted as a regulation pot but at that juncture a missable one. Staying focused on the next shot he followed it with a temperamental black to seal a hard-fought victory.
The match was nothing short of spectacular and will surely go down as one of the finest encounters in this year’s 6 Red Snooker Ranking.
