Bengaluru Torpedoes Prevail Over Spirited Calicut in PVL Classic

Sethu T.R. initiated Bengaluru’s attack early, mixing deft drop shots with well-timed serves. Calicut’s team cohesion kept them competitive, but Sethu’s thunderous super serve closed the opening set for Bengaluru.

In the second, Sivanesan gave Calicut a head start with aggressive serving. Yet, Jalen Penrose’s sharp net play and Joel Benjamin’s clinical strike through a double block helped Bengaluru edge another tight set.

The Heroes responded strongly in the third, as Tharusha Chamath and Vikas Maan turned the tide. Shameemudheen’s impeccable blocking and Santosh S.’s conversion of the super point saw Calicut reduce the deficit.

The fourth set followed the same pattern, with Calicut dictating the pace. Bengaluru’s service errors hurt their rhythm, allowing Shameem and Tharusha to combine effectively and draw level.

In the decider, both sides traded blows point for point. Joel stood tall for Bengaluru with his mid-court power, while Tharusha and Shameemudheen kept Calicut in the chase. Ultimately, Jalen Penrose’s explosive spike tilted the balance in Bengaluru’s favour, sealing one of the league’s most entertaining matches yet.
