NEW DELHI: Five-time national champion Sundeep Gulati maintained his winning spree by clinching both the senior Billiards and 15-Red Snooker titles here. In both formats, he defeated junior national champion Avinash. The finals took place at the Baba Billiards Academy in Nirman Vihar.
In the 15-Red final, Sundeep pocketed the first frame as he didn’t miss the red ball when pink was in pocket. In the second, third and fourth frame, Avinash adopted safety tactics which was not enough to salvage the final. He did lead 44-13 in the fifth frame but he missed pocketing the red which cost him the match and the title. Both Sundeep and Avinash will represent the Delhi state at the Nationals to be held later this year.
