Advani Makes History with Grand Double and Six‑Red Triumphs

The year 2005 became a watershed moment for Pankaj Advani when he secured both the point and time titles at the IBSF World Billiards Championship, achieving what the sport’s historians term the "grand double." This feat was unparalleled until he added another historic milestone in 2014 by winning the IBSF World Six‑Red Snooker Championship, a format that tests precision under faster‑paced conditions. These twin achievements underscore Advani’s versatility and his ability to adapt his cue skills across varied rule sets. Beyond the world stage, he also delivered gold medals for India at the Asian Games in 2006 and 2010, reinforcing his reputation as a dominant force in continental competition.
