In a gripping encounter at the CCI Snooker Classic 2024, Gujarat’s Dhruv Patel displayed incredible resilience and skill to resurrect himself in the qualifying round against Younis Nazir in a test of temperament and prowess.
Despite facing a daunting 3-0 deficit, Junior Dhruv, fresh from his stint on the UK Snooker circuit, showcased the fruits of his international experience, mounting a remarkable comeback against India’s 6 Red Snooker No.5, Younis Nazir.
