Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium: Muthusamy Appavu excelled as defending champions Ahmedabad Defenders picked up a comprehensive 15-10, 15-11, 15-12 win over the hosts Chennai Blitz at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here on Thursday to kick off the third season of Prime Volleyball League.

The Defenders did not get off to the best of starts, with Leandro Jose combining with skipper Akhin G.S for Chennai Blitz.

But the momentum turned for Ahmedabad after a quick advice from coach Dragan Mihailović. Ilya Burau made up for the absence of Danial Moatazedi, with stunning smashes down the right channel. Blitz found little answers for Max Senica's serves, while unforced errors further hurt their cause.
