Prime Volleyball League 2024: Amit Gulia shines as Mumbai Meteors overcome Kochi Blue Spikers in four-set thriller

Saurabh Maan’s blocks and Shubham Chaudhary’s spikes pushed Meteors forward

Mumbai Meteors went past the Kochi Blue Spikers in a pulsating encounter in the third season of the Prime Volleyball League 2024 powered by A23 with a 16-14, 8-15, 18-16, 15-11 win at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai on Sunday. Amit Gulia was named the Player of the Match. 

Mumbai’s Ajith Lal was on point with the attacks, but Erin Varghese’s vicious attacks kept Kochi in play. Amit’s aggressive play from the baseline posed a threat to the Blues, but Aman Kumar’s spike from the outside line helped Kochi. Setter Aravindhan contributed in attacks, while the Blues hurt themselves with service errors and Mumbai took an early lead.

Saurabh Maan’s blocks and Shubham Chaudhary’s spikes pushed the Meteors forward. Athos Ferreira and Abhinav controlled Kochi’s middle to keep their side in the contest. Abhinav’s blocks tilted momentum as Kochi opened doors for a comeback. Jan Krol began scoring freely and Kochi brought game to level pegging.

Om Vasanth Lad brought attacking flair to Kochi’s service. The Blues kept the game in the middle, as Athos controlled the play. Shameem’s monstrous blocking helped Mumbai cover the gap and once again the Meteors had a chance to make a comeback.
