PVL 2025: Delhi Toofans scripts dominant win over Calicut Heroes

The Delhi Toofans secured a decisive victory over the defending champion Calicut Heroes in the Prime Volleyball League (PVL) season four, winning the match with scores of 15-11, 15-9, and 15-11 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad. Jesus Chourio was awarded the Player of the Match for his outstanding performance.

Calicut Heroes began the match strongly, with Santhosh delivering powerful smashes and Vikas Maan effectively defending in the middle zone to counter Delhi's attacks. However, Delhi's skipper Saqlain Tariq maintained his team's momentum through intelligent distribution, and a triple block led by Muhammad Jasim earned Delhi a super point, disrupting Calicut's early dominance.

As the match progressed, Jesus Chourio utilized his strength to challenge Calicut's defense, while George Antony contributed with two consecutive super serves, allowing Delhi to take control on the court. Both teams' liberos, Adarsh for Calicut and Anand for Delhi, engaged the crowd with energetic defensive plays. Santhosh's super serve briefly revived Calicut's hopes, and Shameem applied pressure with solid blocks against Delhi's attacks.

In response, Delhi captain Saqlain adjusted strategies by moving away from the middle and targeting Carlos Berrios to orchestrate attacks. The match concluded with Ayush executing a tremendous block on Raheem's attempt, earning Delhi a super point to seal their victory.
