The Indian trio of Pankaj Advani, Brijesh Damani, and Aditya Mehta combined to win the Asian Snooker Team Championships title at the Moors Sports Club in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Saturday.
The Indians beat Malaysia 3-1 in the final to lift the title.
Earlier in the day, India had staved off a stiff challenge from Hong Kong in the semi-finals, registering a hard fought 3-2 win to book their spot in the title clash against the Malaysians.
India had started their campaign in the competition with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Qatar in the first round on Friday.
The triumph in the men's team snooker event for India comes just days after Paras Gupta's runner-up finish in 6-Red Snooker following a loss to Malaysia's Thor Chuan Leong in the final.
