Billiards is a cue sport that is played on a rectangular table with six pockets. The object of the game is to score points by potting balls into the pockets. Billiards is a very popular sport in India and around the world.

Boxing is a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves, throw punches at each other for a predetermined number of rounds. The winner is the boxer who scores the most points by landing punches on their opponent. Boxing is a very popular sport in India and around the world.

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the bowler, “bowls” (propels) the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end. The batting side has one player at each end of the pitch, with the player at the opposite end of the pitch from the bowler aiming to strike the ball with a bat. The batting side scores runs when either the bowler unfairly bowls the ball to either side of the wicket (unfairly throwing the ball is called a “wide”), or alternatively when the ball reaches the boundary of the field. The fielding side’s aim is to prevent run-scoring and dismiss each player (so they are “out”, and are said to have “lost their wicket”). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the wicket and either dislodges the bails or knocks the wicket over, being caught, when a fielder catches the ball after it has been hit by the bat, being run out, when the fielder hits the stumps at either end of the pitch with the ball before the batter can return to their ground, and stumped, when the wicket-keeper hits the stumps with the ball before the batter can return to their ground.

Badminton is a racquet sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a racquet that is strung with cord to strike a shuttlecock, a feathered or plastic projectile that is much lighter than a tennis ball. The shuttlecock is kept aloft by alternately hitting it with the racquets so that it flies back and forth over a net. The object of the game is to hit the shuttlecock in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a good return.

In conclusion, Pankaj Advani is associated with billiards.
