India clinch
gold in Asian Team Snooker 2013
The Indian trio
Manan Chandra, Brijesh Damani and Alok Kumar scripted history by
thrashing Team Iran 3-0 to emerge champions in the inaugural Asian
Team Snooker Championships held in Qatar, Doha.
The Indian
cueists were in red-hot form right from the start and topped their
group with three wins from as many games. After the group stages,
India were the only team to remain undefeated. Pakistan, China and
Thailand finished on top of their respective groups but suffered a
defeat each.
India had little
obstruction in clinching gold as they outplayed Qatar 3-1 in the
quarterfinals, beat Afghanistan 3-1 in the semifinals before
registering a clean sweep against Iran scoring 61-49 (Single); 58-16
(Single); and 63-55 (double).
Sanjay Sawant
accompanied the team India as coach.
