Kolkata Thunderbolts complete hat-trick wins

Bengalaru: Kolkata Thunderbolts continued their winning run in the second season of the Prime Volleyball League after they defeated the Kochi Blue Spikers 15-9, 15-11, 15-14, 15-11, and 12-15 here at the Koramangala Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday to pick up their third consecutive victory. Rahul was named the ‘Player of the Match’.
Banking on the middle blockers, the Kolkata Thunderbolts’ went soft from the service line with Ashwal Rai and Deepesh Kumar Sinha putting on blocks. With Kochi’s defence struggling, Vinit Kumar and Rahul made the most of it and started making powerful spikes. Rahul and Cody Caldwell joined Kolkata’s blocking party, and Kochi’s spikers Rohit Kumar and Erin Varghese found no space to hit their shots.
The reception from libero Hari Prasad BS further helped the Thunderbolts as he kept making brilliant passes.
A couple of errors from Vinit allowed Abhinav and George Antony to begin Kochi’s resistance. But Cody and Deepesh shut down the doors on Spikers’ momentum.
An under-pressure Kochi made errors as Walter Da Cruz Neto could not find any rhythm.
