Erin Varghese was adjudged the Player of the Match. The outcome, however, did not alter Ahmedabad\u2019s standing on the points table, as they had already qualified for the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmedabad began the match with Battur Batsuuri firing thunderous attacks across the court. Kochi\u2019s Jasjodh Singh responded with a blistering super serve that narrowed the margin between the two teams. His commanding block on Shon T. John lifted team morale, while Amrinderpal Singh\u2019s resilient defending ensured Kochi claimed the opening set.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-86524\" src=\"https:\/\/livemumbai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ANI-KOCHI-BLUE-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p>Erin\u2019s sharp serves kept Ahmedabad unsettled in the second set as Kochi maintained their momentum. In response, Ahmedabad introduced Nandhagopal and Akhin, a tactical move that paid off immediately. Akhin\u2019s solid block from the centre halted Kochi\u2019s surge, allowing the Defenders to equalise the score.<\/p>\n<p>A timely review earned Ahmedabad a crucial point, but Jasjodh\u2019s consistent defending and Hemanth\u2019s powerful cross-body spikes reignited Kochi\u2019s dominance. Nicolas Marechal stood firm in the back court during the third set, helping the Spikers regain full control of the game.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-86525\" src=\"https:\/\/livemumbai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ANI-KOCHI-BLUE-5-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p>In the final set, Hemanth kept the pressure high with his fierce attacking display, while Ahmedabad struggled with unforced errors. Libero Alan Ashique\u2019s lightning-fast reflexes saved vital points for Kochi, as Amrinderpal and Jasjodh continued to rule the middle zone. Ultimately, the Spikers sealed victory following a service fault by Arshak Sinan \u2014 a fitting finish to Kochi\u2019s determined campaign.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact pr.error.rectification@gmail.com to notify us.
