Wizard Shri Pankaj Advani : Greatest World Champion in Indian History for any Sports!

" Greatest World Champion in lndian history for any sports " 

Wizard Pankaj Advani made his international competitive debut at the Asian Billiards Championship 2002, held at Bangalore, in which he finished as a finalist. After an amateur World Snooker Champion title win in 2003, he won the IBSF World Billiards Championship in 2005 at Qawra, Malta, where he became the first to achieve a "grand double" by winning both the time and point formats, a feat he repeated at the 2008 event in Bangalore. He is the only Indian to have won the amateur world title in both snooker and billiards.
Pankaj Advani wins 24th World title in Doha & 11th Asian Cup title in 2 week this september months 2021.
 when he triumphed at the IBSF 6-Red Snooker World Cup with a victory over Pakistan's Babar Masih in the final.
Advani, who won his 11th Asian title last week, started the final with a comfortable 42-13 win in the opening frame.
Pankaj ensured a clean slate of wins over the last fortnight in Qatar across two international championships - Asian & World Cup. 

He is a 24 time world champion. He has won the IBSF World Billiards Championship 15 - times, the World Team Billiards Championship 1 - time, the IBSF World Snooker Championship (15 Reds) 3 - times, (6 Reds) 3 - times, the IBSF World Team Cup 1 - time and the IBSF World Team Championship - 1 time.

He is also the youngest person to have won all these world titles in English billiards, for a record 8 times. Advani also remains the only person to have won all five national, regional, and world billiards tournaments in a single season, a feat he achieved by winning the Indian Junior National Championship and Senior National Championship, the Asian Billiards Championship, and both the World Billiards Championship (point format) and World Billiards Championship (time format).

Advani won the WPBSA billiards title, at Leeds in 2009, against the defending champion Mike Russell; Advani won 2030–1253, after gaining an 800-plus lead at his opening break. He became the first person in the world to win the trio of the WPBSA World Billiards Champion pro title (which he has held twice, in 2009 & 2012), and the IBSF World Billiards Champion amateur title, as well as the IBSM World Snooker Champion amateur title.

In April 2012, Advani won the Asian Billiards Championship in Goa, India[8] to become the first player to win 5 Asian Billiards Champion titles. This takes his total tally of international majors to 17 – 8 Worlds, 5 Asian Billiards, 2 Asian Games Golds, 1 Australian Open and 1 Asian Team. It was announced in May that Advani had accepted the Indian wildcard place on the main snooker tour for the 2012/2013 season.

In October 2012, in Leeds, England, Advani won his seventh (counting professional and amateur) World Billiards Championship title, eighth world title overall, beating defending and nine-time WPBSA World Billiards Champion Mike Russell again, in the timed division final (Advani did not make it to the points division final).

Advani won the 2014 IBSF World 6-Red Snooker Championship, on his debut in that discipline. As such he is currently the only player ever to win world titles in both the long and short formats of snooker (15-red standard, and 6-red) and both formats of English billiards (time and point). Advani is also India's first world champion in 6-red snooker. Since 2014, Advani has focused solely on English billiards.

India cueist Pankaj Advani insists he is hungry for more after winning third straight IBSF billiards crown in Myanmar; takes overall World title count to 20, 2018.

Wizard Pankaj Adavni  is currently the only player ever to win world titles in both the long and short formats of snooker (15-red standard, and 6-red) and both formats of English billiards (time and point). 

In Nov. 2018 Pankaj Advani wins grand double, extends world title tally  number 21 world title in his name. 
Pankaj Advani extended his world title to 21 by winning the long and short formats of the IBSF World Billiards Championship titles for a record fourth time.

2019 Pankaj Advani is an Indian sporting giant. And it's difficult to fathom the gigantic nature of his sporting success. The ace cueist, who is only 34 years old, has 23 world titles under his belt — the most recent of which came this month in Myanmar where he won the fourth straight final in 150-up format at IBSF World Billiards Championship and then went on to capture the team event title in World Snooker with Aditya Mehta.
In recognition of his achievements, the Government of India has bestowed several awards upon Advani: the Arjuna Award in 2004, Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in 2006, Padma Shri in 2009 and Padma Bhushan in 2018.
