Zhou Yuelong registered the 150th maximum break in snooker history en route to victory at the Indian Open on Thursday.
The 21-year-old from China registered the 147 in frame four of his clash with compatriot Lyu Haotian, enough to level the scores at 2-2 in a best-of-seven encounter.
Kudos, @yuelong_zhou!
