The following video is of White Slam by Sanjay Murthy in the singles finals of TV Asia Cup 2006 in the singles finals of TV Asia Cup 2006. They make it look so easy as if anyone can play. They complete the final in less than two minutes.
It takes me longer than that to set the board up!
Well, as I have said before, anyone can play carrom. That is the beauty of the game.
But to play like these guys takes time, talent, patience and practice.
I wonder how many years they have been playing?
If I manage to pocket my pieces, it’s more a matter of luck than good judgement.
I would be interested to know if there have been any faster finals.
OK everyone this is the question.
Who has won a carrom final in less than two minutes?
When was the fastest final?
When was the longest?
We’d also be grateful for any info on Sanjay Murthy.
White Slam by Sanjay Murthy
Looking for this version of 
?
i do not believe the entire game was completed under 2 minutes. the white slam in the video alone took 1 min 43 seconds. a game of carrom is for 25 points. the maximum you can score in one board of carrom is 12 points (1 for each of the 9 coins and 3 for the queen) (unless your opponent keeps pocketing only his stricker in which case you ‘can’ score more than 12 points in a board ;-)).
i dont know which is the fastest tournament game but take a look at this video from last year’s world championships semifinals between Ravinder Goud and Kubendra Babu, both of India - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6259735858406234465&q=carrom&hl=en. Ravinder Goud’s parents must not know how to spell - they put an extra U in his name ;-).
