Biography

Lucky Vatnani (23 December 1985) is an Indian former professional snooker player. He is from Hyderabad, India, but was based in Sheffield, England during his snooker career.

Career

Vantani, a graduate from Sheffield Hallam University in Business Administration, showed promise in his amateur career, with a 6–5 loss to Pankaj Advani in 2010 Indian Championship, as well as a run to the last 16 of the IBSF World Snooker Championship in 2009 and winning the gold medal in the British University Snooker Championships during the same year.

In 2011, he won a place on the World Snooker Tour for the 2011/2012 season. However, he missed several events due to visa issues and would struggle and only won two matches, both in the qualifying stages of the Welsh Open and with three consecutive defeats to Adam Duffy in the first round of the World Open, China Open and World Snooker Championship ensured he was unable to reach the top 64 and therefore dropped of the tour at the end of the season.

Vantani competed as an amateur in the preliminary rounds of the 2013 World Snooker Championship, but lost 5–3 to Paul Wykes. He also attempted the regain his place on the tour via the Q School in 2012, 2013 and 2014, but was unsuccessful on each occasion.
