In what turned out to be a gripping encounter at the CCI Billiards Classic 2025, State No. 3 Hitesh Kotwani showcased nerves of steel and flair in abundance as he edged past the seasoned Ketan Chawla in a tightly contested clash.
From the very beginning, Kotwani took command of the game, setting the tone with precise cue control and tactical brilliance. His fiery form saw him rattle off breaks of 147, 117, and 71, much to the awe of the spectators gathered at Wilson Jones Billiards Room.
But this wasn’t a one-sided affair. Despite Kotwani’s scoring spree, Ketan Chawla stayed hot on his heels, waiting for a slip-up. And as the clock ticked down, the pressure soared. A couple of misjudged shots by Kotwani opened a tiny window for Chawla to claw back—but Kotwani held firm.
In the dying moments, Kotwani’s initial lead sealed the deal, shutting the door on a potential comeback.
With this performance, Hitesh Kotwani not only claims an important win but also sends a strong signal to the rest of the field—he’s here for the long haul, and he’s bringing the fireworks with him.
