Shameemudheen of Calicut was named Player of the Match for his stellar defensive effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"LTR\">With Indian badminton star H.S. Prannoy watching from the stands, the match turned into a roller-coaster of nerves. Bengaluru took the opening two sets before Calicut mounted a brave comeback, forcing a decider. The Torpedoes, however, displayed greater control in the crucial moments to walk away with victory, while Calicut earned its first point of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"LTR\">Sethu T.R. initiated Bengaluru\u2019s attack early, mixing deft drop shots with well-timed serves. Calicut\u2019s team cohesion kept them competitive, but Sethu\u2019s thunderous super serve closed the opening set for Bengaluru.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"LTR\">In the second, Sivanesan gave Calicut a head start with aggressive serving. Yet, Jalen Penrose\u2019s sharp net play and Joel Benjamin\u2019s clinical strike through a double block helped Bengaluru edge another tight set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"LTR\">The Heroes responded strongly in the third, as Tharusha Chamath and Vikas Maan turned the tide. Shameemudheen\u2019s impeccable blocking and Santosh S.\u2019s conversion of the super point saw Calicut reduce the deficit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"LTR\">The fourth set followed the same pattern, with Calicut dictating the pace. Bengaluru\u2019s service errors hurt their rhythm, allowing Shameem and Tharusha to combine effectively and draw level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"LTR\">In the decider, both sides traded blows point for point. Joel stood tall for Bengaluru with his mid-court power, while Tharusha and Shameemudheen kept Calicut in the chase. Ultimately, Jalen Penrose\u2019s explosive spike tilted the balance in Bengaluru\u2019s favour, sealing one of the league\u2019s most entertaining matches yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact pr.error.rectification@gmail.com to notify us.
