In one of the most suspenseful encounters of the CCI Billiards Classic 2025, Patel edged out Brijesh in a dramatic two-point victory that had the audience at Wilson John’s billiard room glued to their seats.
Patel controlled the match steadily maintaining a lead that stretched to nearly 150 points at one stage. His sharp positional play and consistent scoring had him cruising towards a comfortable win after covering an odd 120 points deficit.
But the game took a dramatic twist in the final 10 minutes when Brijesh showcased his class with a brilliant 147 break, momentarily edging ahead by 4 points. However, a missed tricky red left the ball hanging at the pocket—an invitation Patel gratefully accepted, sinking the shot and snatching victory in the final minute.
A classic cat-and-mouse chase on the green baize, this clash will be remembered as one of the most intense finishes in the tournament so far.
