Mohammad Ikram was born without arms, but he hasn't let anything stop him from fulfilling his childhood dream of playing the game of snooker.

Mohammad Ikram plays snooker with his chin at a local snooker club in Samundri town, Pakistan, Sunday, Oct. 25, 2020. Ikram, 32, was born without arms, but everyone simply admires his snooker skills when he hits the cue ball with his chin and pots a colored ball on a snooker table. He lives in a remote rural town of Punjab province and his physical disability doesn't come in his way to fulfil his childhood dream of playing the game of snooker.

"At that time I wished I had arms so that I could play the game, too," Ikram told The Associated Press."People didn't believe me in the club that I could play with my chin," he said, "but they gradually started admiring my skills when I started hitting the cue ball with the chin." "When he first hit the ball with his chin, it simply amazed me because it was as good as any other snooker player could have hit it with cue in hand," Nadeem said.

Ikram, who has two younger brothers and five younger sisters, holds a special place in his mother's heart.
