Indian Express: In a first for his state, Mizo lad cues up for glory
Unassuming 19-year-old Lalrinsanga Ranthlei is close to a ‘first’ but wears the pathbreaker tag lightly. ‘Rina,’ as the Mizo cueist is known amongst friends, finished third in the 8-ball pool event at the National championships in Ludhiana this month, thereby making it to the India probables camp at Bangalore from April 17. A good show there may well see Rina becoming the first cueist from his state to wear Indian colours at next month’s World Championships in Doha, Qatar.
It will be the high point in a career that had a less than ideal beginning. Pool entered Mizoram much as a fad in 2000, and the seedy parlours that mushroomed quickly acquired an unsavoury reputation. Only nine-year-old then, Rina was an upcoming basketball player who only went to the parlours on the insistence of his team mates, who were regulars. “I too started developing interest and started improving as well. Of course, my family was completely against it ,” he recalls.
Rina’s game improved and, two years later, he had defeated the local 8-ball champion. Much of what Rina learnt was self taught, although he readily admits he got help from a Steve Davis, multiple pool world champion, coaching DVD provided by then Mizoram Sports Minister Zodintluanga. “That DVD had just the basic coaching techniques. So I kept following the DVD and kept improving from it for an entire year,” Rina told The Indian Express from Aizawl.

When Rinrin was a young boy, I took him to Thailand, there he purchased a lance. His cousin brother almost got drowned in the pool (Gulf of Thailand). We had thrilling stories over our ventures.
