Veer Chotrani stormed into the men's final with a dominating 11-8, 11-6, 11-2 victory over top-seed Rahul Baitha in the sixth Cello NSCI Open National Circuit squash tournament on Tuesday. Mumbai-based Chotrani, 21, packed too many guns for Baitha, who couldn't adjust to the fast pace set by Chotrani.

The first game was close in the initial stages as Baitha, who is ranked No. 6 in the country, managed to keep pace, but once Chotrani broke free, it was one-way traffic. Chotrani will take on second seed Suraj Chand (Mah), who ended the run of Services' Jamal Sakib by winning 11-7, 11-2, 11-9.
