PVL 2022: There can’t be a better platform than Prime Volleyball League – Hyderabad Black Hawks’ captain Vipul Kumar

Hyderabad Black Hawks captain Vipul Kumar stated that there can’t be a better platform than the Prime Volleyball league for the Indian Volleyball players to show their talent and learn from the best in the business.

Kumar feels the young players can definitely grow in confidence while playing in the league.

This is the inaugural season of the Prime Volleyball League and it gives an opportunity to the Indian players to improve their playing standards.

“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.”

Meanwhile, Hyderabad Black Hawks is currently in second place in the standings with three wins from five matches. However, Vipul added that they are not thinking about the semifinal spot and they want to take one game at a time.

He added, “We are not thinking about the Semi-Finals. We are only focussing on our next match against Calicut Heroes at the moment. We need to keep our confidence high and we want to go into the Semi-Final on the back of a victory.”

The Skipper added, “We’ve had a long break since our last match against Kolkata Thunderbolts on 15 February. We will ensure that we don’t lose our rhythm when we play our next game. We’ve been setting up strategies for our match against Calicut. We’ve watched their matches in the last two days and have been devising our plans.”

On the other hand, Hyderabad has missed the services of their attacker Rohit Kumar, who has been injured. Vipul added that the team will be at its best when Rohit will return back to action.

“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.”

Hyderabad Black Hawks will next face the Calicut Heroes on Monday at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
