Potting the ball all around the table with consummate ease, the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games quarterfinalist was simply ununstoppable as he recorded one of his most emphatic victories in the domestic circuit.

Punjab's No. 1 snooker player and a veteran on cue sport circle, Dharminder Lilly hardly broke a sweat against Delhi's Jaison Malhotra. Lilly put on display fine potting skills to win 3-0.
In an all Punjabi clash, Aysuh Kumar showed his class when he beat his compatriot Abhishek Vashisht in straight frames.
Gujarat's top-ranked snooker player, Abhimanyu Gandhi too won with relative ease against Madhya Pradesh's Bharat Sisodiya.
