Former World No 7 Nalin Patel of Bombay Gymkhana capped his return to action from an eight-year hiatus by clinching the billiards title in the OB Agrawal Billiards & Snooker Promotional Series, organized by CueCircuit, at the Elphinstone Cricket Club here yesterday.
The huge advantage of 150 points put Dawer under pressure from the word go and the formidable Sardar, who is dangerous on his day, never recovered.
"Winning a title after coming back to competition after eight years is a moment to cherish," said a delighted Patel. "I was consistent throughout the tournament and I was particularly happy to beat a solid player like Arun Agrawal earlier in the semi-finals."
"Nalin did not give me a chance," admitted Dawer. "He was in fine form, hardly missing shots. I played badly and when I got my chances, I bungled."
