““It feels amazing to be on a winning streak of world billiards titles. It wasn’t easy though. The competition was tough. “When I was not in full flow, it was my brother Shree, a sports psychologist, who came to the rescue. He helped me stay in the present and kept the scoreboard ticking. This win is for my country and family,”” said Advani.
