Pankaj Advani Inducted Into Billiards Hall of Fame

Billiards legend Pankaj Advani was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame at the World Billiards Museum in Shangrao City in China and this is another achievement to his incredible resume.

He started his career in 1999 and Advani went on to become the first cueist to win the ‘Grand Double’ when he won both the time and point formats in Billiards in 2005. Advani has also won two Asian Games gold medal in 2006 and 2010 and was awarded with Major Dhyanchand Khel Ratna Award, India’s highest sporting honour, in 2005.

Last November, Pankaj Advani won his 26th IBSF (the International Billiards and Snooker Federation) title after defeating compatriot Sourav Kothari.

“I am deeply honoured to join the Hall of Fame at the World Billiards Museum. The love and support I’ve received throughout this incredible journey have been overwhelming and I’m extremely grateful for it,” Advani said.

Advani’s remarkable achievements have certainly cemented his status as one of the greatest champions in the sport.

“I am grateful to represent our country and the entire billiards community. I’ll continue working hard and dedicate myself to the sport and do my best to make everyone proud,” he added.
