Chandra rallies to oust Merchant

After being hopelessly behind, Manan Chandra rallied superbly to show the exit door to senior cueist Yasin Merchant and advanced into the final of the Otters Club All India 9-Ball Pool tournament on Saturday.

Petroleum Sports Promotion Board's Chandra was trailing Merchant, a former two-time Asian snooker champion, 1-9 and then 8-13 before he stormed his way back into the clash and clinched the semi-final tie 15-14.

In the contest between two quality cueists, the PSPB star got off to a shaky start by committing serious errors that gave his formidable rival, who belongs to the host club, a runaway lead in the race-to-15 racks tie.
