Chennai responded through Tarun Gowda\u2019s explosive super serve, which lifted the team\u2019s confidence. Making his debut, Azizbek Kuchkorov impressed with key blocks that disrupted Ahmedabad\u2019s momentum. Brazilian attacker Luiz Felipe Perotto also made his presence felt at the net, as the game continued to shift from one side to the other.<\/p>\n

Nandha kept Ahmedabad competitive with his aggressive serves and consistent scoring, supported by Suraj Chaudhary\u2019s steady defence and Sameer\u2019s clever setups for Chennai. His efforts pushed the match into a tense fifth and deciding set.<\/p>\n

The final set had the crowd on edge. Azizbek\u2019s towering blocks stopped Ahmedabad\u2019s key hitters, while Akhin\u2019s block on Jerome gave the Defenders a lifeline with a valuable super point. But Jerome held his nerve when it mattered most, delivering decisive spikes and serves to seal the match for Chennai Blitz.
