Mumbai schoolboy Shahyan Razmi shines in CCI snooker

Schoolboy Shahyan Razmi stole the thunder with a break of 70 during his first round 3-1 win against Surat's Vismay Gadhiya in the Rs 12.9 lakhs prize- money CCI All India Open Snooker Championship 2019 here Wednesday.

Shahyan's commendable break is presently the best in the competition so far and also his personal best in the tournament.

The 13-year-old Shahyan, who represents the local Elphinstone Cricket Club, took off on the wrong foot as the Surat cueist grabbed the opening frame.

But the resilient Shahyan bounced back in style and, with some small breaks, won a close second frame to level scores at 1-all.

That win proved to be the perfect boost for Shahyan, who went on to construct the superb effort to win the frame.

Shahyan stayed in control and pocketed the fourth to complete a deserving 35-72, 69-38, 75-22 and 57-28 victory.

Later, Shahyan's elder brother Rayaan was not at his best, but still managed to overcome seasoned campaigner Kankan Shamsi of Uttar Pradesh .
