Our u-23 boys lost in the final against higher-ranked Taipei team ... Still, a creditable performance by our boys as they reached their first Asian Championship final and also they secure a place in the upcoming FIVB Men's u-23 championships.
In the final, the Taipei team was better on the court with the execution of their game plan ... Our players tried fightback after winning the third set but the Taipei players re-took control and completed win after winning the fourth set.

Asian men's championship is going on in Iran. All Asian team are participating. As of now, India won 1 match with Kazhak and lost with China. Still we have chance to make it to quarters

[Dinakaran]

India won against omen with 3-1 set and got into quarters. likely to play Japan, which is tough task

By bad, It is Oman. BTW, with that win, got selected for Asian olympics qualification event to be held in China in Jan. All other Asian bigges including Australia are already got selected for it. Only team which we have some hope of beating is Pakistan

As mentioned, in ongoing Asian Senior Men’s Volleyball Championship, India pulled off a stunning victory over Kazakhstan, silver medalists at the previous edition at Indonesia, in a hard-fought five-set thriller ... In last 8, we are having a crap draw as India is in Group E with a formidable Australia, Iran, and China.

This stage only decides the order for the knockouts. We will either face Japan or Korea in the QF, we should have a chance against the latter.

In classification round, we lost to Australia, but the scores shows it was a tight game
27-29,24-26,21-25.

Next match is with none other than Iran. Results are already well-known

Yes of course. 22-25, 16-25, 27-29. Something like that.

Good to see this performance by the Indian team. Hopefully, this is a young and rising team and will rise towards the top in Asia in the next few years...

[jayakris]

Yes of course. 22-25, 16-25, 27-29. Something like that.

My guess wasn't too far off. We just lost to Iran 16-25, 21-25, 21-25. Death, taxes, and... and...

Anyway, as we finished 4th in Group-E, we get the top team from Group-F, South Korea, in the quarterfinal knockout rounds.

[Dinakaran]

Best hope is finishing 7th by defeating Pakistan. They have matches for deciding all the places
