@@NevilleBamshu23 that’s what I was really thinking- it’s like a mini version of some type of snooker or pool game. And clearly a huge influence on the air hockey table game. And also reminds me of table shuffleboard the way they use that really fine sand or whatever it is to make the pieces slide down the table. Looks like in this game they are using some sort of talcum powder. I need to watch a video to learn all the rules and strategy. Looks fun though for sure- these dudes making it look easy I’m sure tho!
I've never heard of, let alone seen this game before today. Bought a board 10mins into the video (this is the 2nd video I've watched.) Can't wait to play!!
The board seems to be super smooth and the smoothness seemed better handled by Prashanth. Though Nishantha being an all round player, I am ardent fan of his innovative double ideas, he could not perform against Prashanth every time they met. Well played and congrats to Prashanth and wish better luck next time to Nishantha. Carrom ICF could have taken better efforts for the video recording of this match as the video quality was very poor, could watch many crucial moments, also no display of scores. Anyway thanks for recording such a wonderful match between two great stalwarts of carrom world, it is always a treat to watch the game of Nishantha.
its been many many years since ive touched carrom. I have never ever watched a professional match before. glad i did and I'm just blown away at how smooth and precise these players make a move.
Carom is neat. I've never played it in person, but I very much want to. There is a mobile game for Carom which is decent, but much like virtual pool is vastly different from the RL thing.
My Dad bought a Carrom Board back in the 50s (before I was born). I've got it now, and 70 years later, when my S.O. and I have her family over at Memorial Day and Labor Day, it comes out and we play. Ditto for the table-top hockey game I got for Christmas 1963 (still works perfectly).

Another version of pool- i like it! You don't need those expensive pool tables and sticks. Seems like a really great game! Thanks for the video introducing me to this neat game :D
My dad brought up our carrom board that exist since my chilhood. Such a fun playing this with my little nieces and nephew, the new generation. Brings lots of laughter as the kids shouts anime chants like gum gum pistolll, pika pikachuu whenever their turn to strike. So funny 😂😂 We use lots of talcum powder but still our board not smooth like this Lol
this is the second time ive seen this game. Is there a "best" brand out there that makes professional level tables? I cannot find much on what "regulation" sizes are. Would seem its a mix of table size AND "puck" size. forgive my ignorance on the subject. Hoping to add one to my game room for a more relaxed play than pool, superchexx, golden tee, ping pong and air hockey!
Growing up as a kid we had a 4 person Carom table. In the 4 corners instead of a hole, ours had netted pockets. Instead of 'checker' type pieces, our pieces were thick plastic rings. My middle finger was always sore after playing. Our table also came with small pool cues that could be used for a different kind of game. Fun, fun, fun.
I questioned watching this after seeing them "shake" hands, and here I am an hour later pulling for shots to go in haha. How do I acquire a table like this!??
This looks like a fun game to learn. I've seen a bigger board where the players use rings to shoot, and the pieces move easily like on an air hockey table.
We played a similar game on the streets of Brooklyn called Skellies. Bottle caps filled with candle wax and 15 boxes painte in chalk on the tar street. Great fun as a kid!
Well you can tell this isn’t in the United States not because the announcer isn’t speaking English but because here there would be a beer and an ashtray on the rim of the board and the board would have a big advertisement from Johnsonville brats.
Wow, I did not think people played Carrom really anymore, It was a thing in America for a while back in the 60s and 70s It was a fun family game we used to play.
Now I understand why my friend in office told me that the powder on the board is very less. But I am still not sure why my childhood friends used to say that playing behind the line is foul🤙😂
Looks like its that time of year again for TH-cam to recommend me, a white guy with no ties whatsoever to India, this Indian tabletop game that I have never even searched up.
OMG! We had a carrom board as kids in the 1970's in Ohio. Just a fun and creative multipurpose game board. Never knew it was a precious sport in any Country? Also, I had a game with a bunch of different sized poker chips that was rectangular shaped where it had a massive amount of games, Chief among them was the hickey game where you flicked one chip between two other chips to score goals. I remember blue and red poker chips. There was two diamond obstacles right in front if the goal to block easy scoring. It was a great simple strategy game you didn't even need two players to enjoy playing it! Memories! Memories! Why this video came up in my feed I have noooo idea (I was watching political videos)? But my mind is just so happy that this reminded me of the game. Somehow the number 151 is in my head too? Was it the Carrom game or the hockey game?
This video unlocks when you reach 8 hours of youtube in one day.
as a reward.
lmaooo
lol dude
hahahahhaha
No shit.
I didn't know what this was 5 minutes ago. Now I NEED this in my life.
Same thing JUST happened to me 🤣🤣 I’m trying to get into this….
Really fun game..the predecessor to snooker..

@@sdrahcir5054 they use borax powder it doesn't take on moisture india bein humid af..lol.. and slides like soap..ita brillant stuff
Man... I'm right there with you folks. This looks like a heck of a game.
How did I even get up here 😂
Bali gunar Prashant! 🇮🇳
As I reached here😂
The carton king got me here. I’m not mad though 😊
Magnet king got me here I don't why I'm watching this 😂
Im getting my own board hahahaha at 4am hahahahaha
Anyone else actually searched for this instead of being randomly recommended?
I got several carrom videos with random pakistani and indian men in my insta feed so I checked out the rules and now I'm watching this match lol
I searched it
I am indian i play it so i search for it
I used to play carom often when I was a child. It was fun.
I got here chosen by algorithm. Didn't even know this game existed.
So, my YT journey went from Mongolian and ancient European folk music to this video. Most fascinating. Until today I mever even knew this existed. Lol
India needs to promote carrom internationally.. East to west.. North south
Perhaps there's a reason why this 'sport' isn't played anywhere in the world.
@@renemartin5729 Yes, you need skill
It used to pretty well-known game in America for a while back in the 60s and 70s It was a fun family game we used to play.
this is the stupidest game I've ever seen.
Agreed. Carrom is more fascinating than Snooker.
I don’t even know which way he’s about to flick it. Gets me every time.
He’s known as the Michael Jordan of Carrom with his signature no look shots.
I've never heard of, let alone seen this game before today. Bought a board 10mins into the video (this is the 2nd video I've watched.) Can't wait to play!!
If u r from outside asia then its pretty obvious u would not be knowing
@@kaushalmaithi6019you do know that the boards are made in English right? Meaning not just Asia plays this game.
yes, I might do the same. it looks like fun.
Awesome game spent many an hour playin in a chai shop on the beach in india..love it i have my own board here in the u.k.
The definition of a ridiculous impulse buy and something that will be collecting dust, in the garage for years. Congrats! 🫤
Carrom is one of those games that definitely looks a lot easier than it really is.
Nah. Def looks like a game that if i try it, i flick that disk off the table and in some onlooker's eye.
Your hand shiver at extreme pressure points
The board seems to be super smooth and the smoothness seemed better handled by Prashanth. Though Nishantha being an all round player, I am ardent fan of his innovative double ideas, he could not perform against Prashanth every time they met.

Never seen or heard of this game until this video popped up
And how is it
@@speedytort7384 looks interesting. I’d like to learn how to play it.
Why have I never heard of this game? And why is it not huge in America. My young nephews would love to play this.
Carom is neat. I've never played it in person, but I very much want to. There is a mobile game for Carom which is decent, but much like virtual pool is vastly different from the RL thing.
21:35 Break to finish is Class
Thanks. That was awesome.❤

Love the Stiga hockey tables.
Of all the random games TH-cam has been showing me, this and candlepin bowling are the coolest
duckpin bowlings fun too
Hahaha I got the candle pin bowling yesterday 😂
I'm going to have to check out candlepin bowling now... :)
Random suggestion from the algorithm, but totally fascinating.

What an Opening and What a Game by India!! Awesome!!
This video came in my timeline and i watched the whole video for no reason
21:29 what a shot!
22:05 runs the board!
Never heard of this game before this video but now I’m hooked.
It’s called Carrom and this is the world championship
How i randomly came across this idk, never seen this sport b4, i like it
Better than Snooker.
Good luck Lions, Nishantha, bring victory to Sri Lanka
Prashant more is different player 💯❣️
world best player
Congratulations Prashant 💐 Very well played sir 👍
Wow! I'm a Board Gamer entusiast (collectionist actually) and a Pool enjoyer... Since like... 20 years, but this is totally new for me! And i love it!
looks like a mix of pool and air hockey, I'll be looking into this.
It's actually amazingto see that so many people didn't know about carrom
Class players ko khelte dekhna bahut hi different hai. Excellent display of skill by both the players. Learners can learn a lot from their game.
Isse to Acha Ghar main me khelta Hun world class player aur tagda Hona Chahiye
@@sameermeher7054 me teko hara dunga tere hee ghar me 🦁 😉
Could someone please send Amazon link for this exact premium carrom board used?
Many thanks in advance.
My dad brought up our carrom board that exist since my chilhood. Such a fun playing this with my little nieces and nephew, the new generation. Brings lots of laughter as the kids shouts anime chants like gum gum pistolll, pika pikachuu whenever their turn to strike. So funny 😂😂 We use lots of talcum powder but still our board not smooth like this Lol
Special powder being used which is not talcum, but usually boric acid powder. Research carom board powder, many available.
this is the second time ive seen this game. Is there a "best" brand out there that makes professional level tables? I cannot find much on what "regulation" sizes are. Would seem its a mix of table size AND "puck" size. forgive my ignorance on the subject. Hoping to add one to my game room for a more relaxed play than pool, superchexx, golden tee, ping pong and air hockey!
Prashant we played first board I impressed very much on your game
@ICF why no Live Proper Live Stream of Matches
Very bad😔
No good WiFi Ashraf..
Another legend 😅 comments

I need to buy a board! This looks so fun!
memories of manali and carrom back in 97
The only memory I have of Manali is the charras
@@renemartin5729 yep and the fresh air having come down from Ladakh.
No idea how I got here as well but this looks kind of cool. Reminds me of billiards and air hockey 😊
Classic Prashant 💯🔥
Never seen or heard of this before. Mix of crokinole and billiards? Looks fun!
Prashant Sir .. congratulations well played
I used to play on one of these boards as a child...had numerous games on either side. Didn't know how to play or any rules but it sure was fun!
Most underrated sport 🙌
Up there with darts, chess and poker for the most physically demanding for sure
I am really surprised that carrom is just the game of Indian subcontinent.😮
And not beyond
Wow! I have not seen this game in years. Look a lot different than when I was a kid.
Are u not from Asia? From USA?
@@kaushalmaithi6019 USA
This is the ultimate version of every game we made up in school!! ❤
from my ig feed to my yt fyp, the algorithm truly knows what i want
I questioned watching this after seeing them "shake" hands, and here I am an hour later pulling for shots to go in haha. How do I acquire a table like this!??
We grew up playing this board game in South Africa. We call it finger board
This looks like a fun game to learn. I've seen a bigger board where the players use rings to shoot, and the pieces move easily like on an air hockey table.
This was a thing in Germany in the 90s. You could get those boards anywhere. It disappeared after a year or two.
You should add tha scorecard in your all videos
We played a similar game on the streets of Brooklyn called Skellies. Bottle caps filled with candle wax and 15 boxes painte in chalk on the tar street. Great fun as a kid!

Someone heard the sound in background...at 5.54 .... So elegant so beautiful its like a wow 😂😂😂....wah kya chal rha h 😅😅 5:53
Never seen this before YT recommended. Gave a bit of asmr for me
This reminds me of the epic world championship finale 1973
1972 s. Dilli chennai carrom player
can someone please guide me how and from where to order good quality Carrom-Board from INDIA? Any good carrom board dealer in india?
It's reminds me of a mini billiards set or mini air hockey. Very cool! I wanna play!
can't you add the scoreboard?
They're not technosavy
And ll nd ly this is not an international tournament
@@pankajdhargalkar736 its international tournament.. Do u think srilanka is in india?
I skipped because of your comment!
Nope
Would play a version of this in Brooklyn, with bottle caps filled with wax for weight. The game was called 'Skully'.
Who knew. I had one of these tables when I was a kid. Back in the 60’s. The discs were plastic rings. Green and Red.
I had one of those back then as well. Mine had rings also but I think they were wooden.
How much will cost a board like this?... Thinking of buying one.. But dont think would have sufficient money..
Where i ger type carrom board , please tell me someone.I am from purulia dist,west bengal.
Pls update today finam match live
Is there a world championship for Carrom? I know India and sri Lanka major on Carrom. And of course southeast Asia countries also play Carrom.
Sirs, this was very well played.
Never seen this game before in my life. However, it does look interesting.
For non indians, i bet u here because king carrom
I've never seen this kind of game before. Looks interesting. :)
Wow, I did not think people played Carrom really anymore, It was a thing in America for a while back in the 60s and 70s It was a fun family game we used to play.
What size board is this please and who makes it .thankyou ..
Where to buy and during purchase what we need to check and messure board
don't worry, let's win next match.sri lanka
Hamar Bharat ko kohi nhi hara sakata Jai hind
Reminds me of air hockey in the 70's arcades
Now I understand why my friend in office told me that the powder on the board is very less. But I am still not sure why my childhood friends used to say that playing behind the line is foul🤙😂
My dad bought this game from India I love playing as a kid with him
No one but me watching this during exam ..knowing thst i have zero prepararion
Are these strikers are of a special quality n brand?please let me know.
I wanna try this. I've never in my life seen this game before.
Never seen it before, would certainly have a go though.
What in the hell did I search that popped this up in my recommended videos. TH-cam is a crazy place! But now I must have this finger pool board
Reminds me of a game i used to play with quarters
1 like for india
For the record I did not search for this. I guess I do like checkers, air hockey and pool so I kind of see what youtube did there.
How cool is this game. Disc snooker!
Looks like its that time of year again for TH-cam to recommend me, a white guy with no ties whatsoever to India, this Indian tabletop game that I have never even searched up.
According to the official rules you cannot play backwards or sideways, only forwards; is this a different ruleset?
Im Guessing chess brought me here. This game looks like if pool and air hockey had a child and that child was adorable. Nice to learn something new
விளையாட்டிலும் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ஆக CONFIDENT தான் முழு காரணம் ஆகும்
Which size board are they playing on?
May I know the size of this carrom board
பிரசாந்த்.வெற்றி.பொற.வாழ்த்துகள்❤❤🎉
Not sure what's happened, I somehow ended up watching techball now this at 3 in the morning. Is this finger snooker?
i want to challenge one of them ... how to approach?
OMG! We had a carrom board as kids in the 1970's in Ohio. Just a fun and creative multipurpose game board. Never knew it was a precious sport in any Country? Also, I had a game with a bunch of different sized poker chips that was rectangular shaped where it had a massive amount of games, Chief among them was the hickey game where you flicked one chip between two other chips to score goals. I remember blue and red poker chips. There was two diamond obstacles right in front if the goal to block easy scoring. It was a great simple strategy game you didn't even need two players to enjoy playing it! Memories! Memories! Why this video came up in my feed I have noooo idea (I was watching political videos)?
