With former IBSF World Champion Muhammad Asif suffering from patchy form, Muhammad Sajjad was forced to take up the mantle as Pakistan’s premier cueist. He delivered in the IBSF World Snooker Championship in India, making it to the final before eventually losing out to 14-year-old Yan Bing Tao.
Having claimed bronze in the 2013 edition, Sajjad’s was able to improve on his previous performance but was left disappointed with the way he was defeated by the Chinese youngster, who won the deciding frame to claim the title 8-7.
“I’m gutted to lose the final in the decider after working so hard to get here,” Sajjad had told The Express Tribune. “The aim was to become world champion but it just didn’t happen this year. I’ll now try to go all the way in the next edition and win the title. The silver lining though is that I’ve improved in the championship by taking the silver medal this time around.”
