Ludhiana, April 1 -- Pankaj Advani, India's most decorated cueist, added another feather to his cap by winning his first National 9-ball pool title at the Rotary Bhawan here on Tuesday. In the final, the PSPB cueist outplayed Nitin Sharma of Chandigarh 11-6 in the race-to-11 affair in front of an appreciative crowd in Ludhiana. Advani, who stayed away from the fast-paced discipline for over 25 years, made it a memorable debut. "I can't believe it, this is a very different title," said Advani. "It means so much to me winning a sport which is outside of my comfort zone! To be an underdog and eventually go on to lift the trophy is something I never imagined in my wildest dreams would happen." Owner of 28 World titles in billiards and snooker, Advani proved that he possesses a high degree of skill and tactical acumen to excel in this high-speed version of cue sports. He may have been a trifle slow to start with on the day, allowing his rival to take a 3-1 lead. But once he caught up with Nitin at 3-3, there was no looking back....
