Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium: Indian volleyball player Saqlain Tariq, who has garnered attention from the fans after his addition to the third season of Prime Volleyball League (PVL), has flagged his home state Jammu and Kashmir as a volleyball hub, which needs proper facilities and support.

One of the brightest volleyball stars of the country, Saqlain, who hails from the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, is leading the new franchise Delhi Toofans this season. After a shock win over Bengaluru Torpedoes at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium on Sunday, the experienced setter opened up on his desire to see more kids coming from his state and reaching this level.

"I belong to a region from where no one expects you to reach this level. It is a matter of pride for me, my family, and my district," an emotional Saqlain said after the match.
