Prime Volleyball League 2025: Spikers’ Famous 3-1 Win Over Calicut
In the Prime Volleyball League 2025, the battle between Kochi Blue Spikers and Calicut Heroes ended on a thrilling note at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad as Kochi Blue Spikers sealed the match by 3-1 (15-13, 9-15, 15-8, and 15-13), dominating from the very beginning of the set.
Kochi started the game in a very energetic manner as the blocker Jasjodh Singh got the first point for the team. Along with him, Erin Varghese made a brilliant super serve, which enabled the Spikers to have an early lead, though Calicut star, Ashok Bishnoi, tried to maintain the pressure in response. The rhythm of attacks used by Kochi was momentarily stopped when the captain and setter of Calicut, Mohan Ukkrapandian and blocker Shameem formed strong plays in the middle. Despite the efforts, Kochi led the first set with the score of 15-3.
Calicut regained possession in the second set, with Shameem and Santhosh meshed together, pressuring the defense of Kochi, with the quickness of Bishnoi on court giving Calicut a super point and the set, making the game a draw at 1-1. Kochi attempted to reassert itself by reintroducing Amrinderpal Singh into the field so that it could reinforce its blocks, but Calicut never allowed it to stop, leading Calicut to win the set by 15-9.
The third set, though, witnessed Kochi take back control. The Spikers succeeded in forcing Calicut to their defense through the clever play made by Jasjodh and the steady attacks of Erin. Although Mukesh played extremely well as the libero of Calicut, Amal had accurate shots and Moushin had clever setting that gave Kochi an advantage to continue scoring and they led the set by 2-1.
