“It is an honour and privilege to lift the oldest World Championship trophy in the history of global sport — the John Roberts Trophy,” said an elated Advani

India No. 2 Aditya Mehta (PSPB) was in complete control as he charged past I.H. Manudev 4-1 (52-43, 101-8, 69-6, 46-82, 60-63) to progress to the quarterfinals.

Advani overcame Robin D'Souza 4-0 (58-55, 73-7, 92-33, 64-52) while producing one notable break of 65 in the third frame.

Mehta was down 2-3 in the best-of-seven frame pre-quarterfinal, but fought hard to draw level at 3-3 and then made a splendid 71 clearance for a brilliant come-from-behind victory

Playing the first singles, he made a gritty 52 before an unlucky red in-off ended the break abruptly against Thor Chuan Leong

Pankaj Tripathi, roped in as the face of the ongoing Khelo India Youth Games in Bihar, hopes the initiative will inspire youngsters to represent India on a bigger platform

Advani, a 28-time IBSF World Billiards Championship winner, began slowly on Sunday, but capitalised on the opportunity provided by Sitwala, who faltered after a strong break of 94

Advani beat Shandilya by a scoreline of 777-387,while Razmi edged out Goodwill 409-403

The winner will take home Rs 5 lakh at the conclusion of the competition on May 11
