An outstanding performance by the current national billiards champion, Sourav Kothari, saw his team Cue Magicians get better of The Rockets on the third day of the ongoing Bengal Premier League at the Bengal Rowing Club. So far Cue Magicians have won all five matches they have played and now confirmed for the last four stage knockouts.

Today against The Rockets, leading from the front, Kothari thrashed Akram Khan 100-00 in the Billiards game and guided his team to a score of 3-2 over his opponents. However, he lost the doubles with Kingshuk Saha to the duo of Sandip Gulati and Shakil Ahmed but that did not deter his teammates Shoaib Khan and Gautam Khanwani who won their respective frames.

In another match of the day, former India No. 2 Brijesh Damani produced a scintillating display of skill and class to notch a 116-00 win over Sushil Sarda of Snookin Shooters. This break remained the best so far and first century break of the event. He however could not help his team Satrangi Squad as they lost the match 2-3 to Snooking Shooters.

However, Manish Jain led ELVY 147 tasted their first loss of the tournament as they were beaten by Black Panthers led by Manan Chandra 1-4. The Panthers completely bludgeoned them claiming the first four frames before Manish restored parity in the last frame beating Arshad Zama.
