Biography
Kamani's main sporting focus was on table tennis from the ages of 7 to 17. However, she lost interest in table tennis in 2010 due to feeling that she was not being supported despite her successes. She played pool (cue sports) recreationally, and her friends suggested that she try other cue sports. She took up snooker, and won the Indian national women's title in 2015, and the 6-reds championship in 2015 and 2016.[2]
In the 2014 Australian Open, held in Sydney, Kamini won all of her five matches in the qualifying round, four of them 2-0 and the other 2-1. She then beat Suniti Damani 3-0 in the quarter-final[3] and Jennifer Budd 4-0 in the semi-final. In the final, Kamani lost the first three frames to Jessica Woods, then won the next to trail 3-2. Woods won the sixth frame to complete a 4-2 win.[4]
Kamani won the Indian National Snooker title in 2015, with a 4-2 defeat of Vidya Pillai in the final. [5]
