'Achievements of all athletes should be celebrated equally': Pankaj Advani

Admitting that cricket is India's 'favourite sport', Advani feels the government need to review their policies a bit.

Pankaj Advani congratulated by PM Modi on his 22nd world title

Advani defeated local favourite Nay Thway Oo 6-2 to win the final in the 150-up format at the IBSF World Billiards Championship.

The 34-year-old has brought home a world trophy every year ever since returning from a professional stint in the UK in 2014.

Pankaj, vying for his 22nd world title, will play in a repeat of last year's final against Nay Thway Oo of Myanmar.

PV SIndhu had four medals at the World C'ships as she bagged bronze in the 2013 and 2014 while in 2017 and 2018 she claimed silver medals.

The 33-year-old started off by gaining the upper hand with a 2-0 lead but a few miscued shots helped Ehsan stay in the match.

The IBSF World Billiards and Snooker Championships is less than a fortnight away and the Indian star cueist is the defending champion in both sports.

After qualifying from the group, the Indian team faced top seed Thailand in the quarterfinals and it emerged 3-0 victorious.

Simplistic and serious minded, Advani loves hanging around with family. And busy improving his game, and working on his app.

Yasin Merchant along with Sonic Multani will spearhead the veterans challenge against the rest of the fray.
