“There cannot be a greater platform than the RuPay Prime Volleyball League,” says Vipul Kumar

The Hyderabad Black Hawks, who have won three of their five RuPay Prime Volleyball League matches, presently lead the standings with seven points. Hyderabad will be hoping to secure a spot in the Semi-Finals with a win in their last league encounter against Calicut Heroes.

Vipul Kumar, Captain of the Hyderabad Black Hawks, stated ahead of their next encounter, “We are not considering the Semi-Finals. At the present, we are simply concerned with our next encounter against Calicut Heroes. We need to keep our spirits high, and we want to enter the Semi-Finals on a strong note.”

The Skipper said, “We’ve had a long break since our previous encounter on February 15th against the Kolkata Thunderbolts. We’ll make sure we don’t lose our stride when we play our next game. We’ve been planning strategy for our next encounter versus Calicut. We’ve been watching their matches for the previous two days and making arrangements.”

When asked about how the team has coped with the absence of Attacker Rohit Kumar, Vipul said, “We have missed Rohit, but we have ensured that George Antony is given enough confidence to carry out his game. And whenever Rohit comes back, our team will be doubly strong. It’ll be quite difficult for our opponents, once Rohit is fully fit.”

Vipul also expressed his thoughts about the RuPay Prime Volleyball League, “There cannot be a better platform than the RuPay Prime Volleyball League for Indian volleyball players, especially for the youngsters. This tournament is helping players showcase their skills in the limelight and also make financial gains. With more income, players can acquire better equipment and hire trainers, which will help the players develop their games.”

The Hyderabad Black Hawks will take on the Calicut Heroes in their next match on Monday, 21 February 2022 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
