NEW DELHI, Feb 23:
The titles keep piling up but Pankaj Advani’s hunger remains unsatiated and India’s star billiards player will now be eyeing a record sixth Asian title when he competes in the event from March 1 in Colombo.
He has amassed a record 15 world titles across all formats of billiards and snooker, but the 30-year-old is eager to break his own record of the maximum number of Asian titles.
A finalist in the previous season after losing to compatriot, Dhruv Sitwala, Advani was the first to admit that the challenge of winning the title after three years would be tough, yet extremely exciting.
“None of the competitions that I have ever participated in have been easy. Every competition in all formats of the sport has always presented its own challenges and competition and it’s the excitement in conquering those challenges that keeps me going,” Advani said. (PTI)
