Despite Om Lad Vasant: Bengaluru Torpedoes were crowned champions of the Volleyball League season 4 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, on Sunday, after defeating the Mumbai Meteors 15-13, 16-4, 15-13 in the final.
Both teams began cautiously, running the game from the middle zone. Petter Alstad Ostvik blocked Joel Benjamin, while Bengaluru roared back with Jishnu's block on Shubham Chaudhary. Service pressure from Sethu edged Bengaluru ahead, pushing the Meteors to call for a super point. Despite the Meteors pushing close, Bengaluru captain and setter Matt West's effectiveness with his distributions helped the Torpedoes win the first set.
Sethu began the second set with the first super serve of the night. A series of unforced errors from Mumbai helped Bengaluru's cause. Despite Om Lad Vasant making tremendous plays for his attackers, Shubham and captain Amit Gulia overhit their shots. Consistent attacks from Joel made it hard for the Meteors to contain the opposition, and the Torpedoes took a two-set lead with Joel's super serve.
