Pankaj Advani wins his 29th world billiards title, securing the WBL World Billiards Championship in Great Wyrley (with NDTV describing Birmingham). Multiple outlets say the final featured a major comeback after Advani trailed by more than 300 points, highlighting his resilience and determination.
The reports frame the achievement as record-extending and significant to Advani’s career. Times of India adds that he had been without a world title for about two years and credits “newly adopted preparation techniques” alongside grit. The Hindu notes his presence as the only Indian in the last-four stage before he wins. NDTV emphasizes the size of the milestone, calling it a “staggering” 29th career world title.
