Samar Khandelwal, the Pune-based cueist and son of Mumbai’s esteemed and first lady snooker player Usha Khandelwal, showcased his patience and skill against opponent Raj Chhari in the ongoing CCI Snooker Classic 2024. Despite facing an initial setback, Khandelwal’s comeback story left spectators amazed.
Trailing 0-2 against the young and promising Raj Chhari, Khandelwal found his rhythm and form, drawing inspiration from his mother’s legacy in the sport. Crafting a brilliant 46 break in the fourth frame, Khandelwal leveled the scores to 2 all, setting the stage for an intense showdown.
In a dramatic turn of events, it was Khandelwal’s unwavering determination that proved to be the difference-maker. Leading 3-2, and with Raj Chhari attempting to pot the black ball for a leveler, an unfortunate in-off gifted the frame and ultimately the match to Khandelwal, who emerged victorious with a final score of 4-2.
Now, Khandelwal prepares to face CCI’s young prodigy Kreish Bajaj in the upcoming battle of the Top 64. As the excitement reaches fever pitch, cue sports enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the action-packed showdown set to unfold.
