Aditya Mehta shocked world professional circuit top 20 player Liang Wianbo but India went down fighting 1-3 to title-favourites China in the snooker team championship final to settled for the silver medal at the Asian Games Town Gymnasium, here.

Cue sports has so far fetched three medals for India in the ongoing quadrennial mega-event with star cueist Pankaj Advani successfully defending his title in the English Billiards singles category while Alok Kumar securing a bronze in the men's 8-ball pool singles yesterday.

Today, each match in the snooker team final was a single frame affair in which world pro no 5 Ding Junhui outclassed former Asian champion Yasin Merchant 70-16 with a best break of 44 as compared to the Indian veteran's 8 to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.
