Hyderabad Black Hawks Triumph in Prime Volleyball League Opener

In a thrilling opening match of Prime Volleyball League Season Four, Hyderabad Black Hawks emerged victorious over Calicut Heroes 15-12, 18-16, 18-16 on Thursday. The game, packed with strategic dynamism and skill, set a competitive tone for the season.

Calicut Heroes initially showcased a formidable defense, led by Vikas Maan's effective blocking, which was complemented by Coach Sunny Joseph's strategic decision to feature Ashok Bishnoi. Despite Calicut's early control, inconsistency in their first-touch allowed Hyderabad to regain a foothold.

Key players like Sahil Kumar and Vitor Yudi Yamamoto played pivotal roles in steering the momentum towards Hyderabad. The game reached its climax when Hyderabad's Niyas and 2023 MVP Guru Prashanth dismantled Calicut's defense with decisive moves, finalizing the thrilling win for the hosts.
