Bangalore: Reigning Asian Champion and ace cueist Aditya Mehta gave yet another account of his immense skills by registering a perfect break of 147, the maximum one can achieve in the sport.
The professional snooker player stepped into the 147 club and joined Geet Sethi, who was the first to achieve the feat back in 1988. Mehta, recorded the landmark break in the ongoing selection camp at Bangalore in the fourth frame against Brijesh Damani (IOC).
Incidentally, 25 years back, Sethi also registered the break in the fourth frame against an Indian opponent Nasir Latif of Kerala. In both the historic matches, referees overlooking the proceedings were from Karnataka State Billiards Association, the Mecca of Cue Sports. In 1988, G.R. Ranganathan was the match official while M. K. Sharma was the referee during Mehta's match.
