India CCI Snooker Classic: Snooker professional Ishpreet Singh Chadha (PSPB) came up with a brilliant performance and made history by compiling the maximum break of 147 during his 5-0 victory against Dilip Kumar of Railways in a best-of-9-frame quarterfinal match in the all-India CCI Snooker Classic 2025 being played at the CCI’s Wilson Jones Billiards Hall here on Friday.

The stupendous effort was Mumbai-based Ishpreet’s maiden maximum in an open tournament and made him the third Indian after legendary cueists Geet Sethi (Gujarat) and Aditya Mehta (Mumbai) to construct a break of 147. Sethi, winner of multiple National titles, had achieved the mark during the 1988 Guntur Nationals. Mehta, a former National champ representing PSPB, constructed a 147 during the Asian Games selection tournament in Bangalore in 2013 and again in a tournament in Germany on the pro circuit.

The 28-year-old Ishpreet, who participates in the World Snooker Tour, is coached by legendary two-time Asian snooker champion Yasin Merchant at the Khar Gymkhana. Ishpreet put on a fine exhibition of his brilliance and the few die-hard cue sports enthusiasts were fortunate to witness the historic moment.
