"We lost our last match against Ahmedabad Defenders, but we played well in the match. We made some small mistakes, which didn't help our cause. We will try to rectify our mistakes and put up a better performance in our next match against Kolkata Thunderbolts."The volleyball fans will be presented with an absolute treat when the RuPay Prime Volleyball League will witness its first doubleheader on Friday.

Speaking ahead of their match against Hyderabad Black Hawks, Bengaluru Torpedoes' Pankaj Sharma said, "I feel that our setters are our biggest strengths. They set up the spikes very well for us to execute. We missed a lot of first passes in our match against Kochi. They were serving quite well. We will have to focus on improving our first passes for our next game. Otherwise, we have been attacking well."Kolkata Thunderbolts' Vinit Kumar said that the team has attained a lot of confidence after emerging victorious against Calicut Heroes."There were a lot of ups and downs for us in our last match against Calicut Heroes. They were leading by three points in the last set, but we fought hard and it felt really good to win the match. We have attained a lot of confidence after that result. However, we made a lot of unforced errors in the match. We will focus on reducing our unforced errors in the next game," he said.
