Despite ashwal

Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium: Vinit Kumar was named the Player of the Match as Kolkata Thunderbolts picked up their second win on Thursday, going past the Hyderabad Black Hawks with a dominant win in the third season of the Prime Volleyball League (PVL) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai. Kolkata Thunderbolts won the match 15-8, 15-8, 11-15, 20-18.

Stefan Kovacevic fired from the middle for Hyderabad early on. But Vinit shook up Hawks' defence with aggressive serves. Onur Cukur kept setting up attackers with impeccable passing, and the Thunderbolts took charge. Ashwal Rai joined the action keeping Kolkata on the right path, while Hemanth and Stefan earned crucial points to showcase Hyderabad's resistance.

The Hawks missed Ivan Jose as Sahil Kumar, who received his first start, struggled to get going. David Kisiel made useful contributions in attack and defence, and the Thunderbolts took control of the match.
