Avinash Gaikwad staged a remarkable comeback to edge past Mithun Merchant in a thrilling 3-2 decider at the CCI Snooker Classic 2025.
The home club player, Mithun, started strong, dominating the first two frames and leaving Gaikwad struggling to adjust to the pristine 26oz cloth at the Wilson Jones Billiard Room. However, a missed red by Mithun gave Gaikwad a crucial opening, and he seized the opportunity to turn the match around.
With the momentum shifting, Gaikwad forced a decider, where he capitalized on another missed chance by Mithun, securing a hard-fought 3-2 victory.
Gaikwad now advances to face Loukic Pathare, who also registered a 3-0 win earlier today.
