Doha, Nov 23: Ace Indian cueist Pankaj Advani completed his fifth grand double with a dominating 5-0 win over compatriot Sourav Kothari in the final of the IBSF World Billiards Championship (point-format) here on Friday.
The victory extended Advani’s world title tally to a staggering 27. In a repeat of the world championship final, Advani stamped his authority over Kothari.
The 38-year-old, who had defeated Kothari recently in the longer format of 1000-point, won the earlier editions in 2005, 2008, 2014, and 2018. This is in addition to the snooker double he won in 2015.
Advani will now head back home for 10 days before travelling to Chennai for the National Billiards and Snooker Championship. (PTI)
