Volleyball Champions League:<\/b> Haryana Hurricanes owner Naveen Rathi is confident that his team can go all the way and win the Volleyball Champions League (VCL) trophy after making it to the semifinals of the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rathi praised the team\u2019s performance and highlighted the balance between experienced players and young talent as one of the key reasons behind their success. He said the idea behind the team\u2019s name was also rooted in Haryana\u2019s identity and the energy associated with a storm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI belong to Haryana, and that is why we chose the name Haryana Hurricanes. The idea was to reflect the spirit of a toofan (storm), and I knew that whenever players from Haryana come together, they would bring that energy with them,\u201d Rathi said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Explaining the team\u2019s composition, Rathi said he wanted a combination of senior players and youngsters. He was keen to bring together experienced campaigners with younger players to create a well-balanced squad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI had been observing the team from the beginning. I wanted some senior players to be part of the squad alongside young talent. It turned out to be a perfect combination, and by God\u2019s grace, you can see the results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rathi also revealed that his message to the players before the tournament, and again ahead of the Super 6 stage, was to focus on their game rather than worry about the outcome.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI told the team to play their natural game. They should not worry about winning or losing or think too much about the result. They have the ability and just need to trust themselves, focus on their job and express themselves on the court. The players are giving their best, and that is why we have reached this stage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
