They are really playing well. If they keep improving like this, we could see them break into the top 30 rankings, and they might even qualify for the Volleyball World Cup. Sad for football, though. ⚽
Indian footballers need to realise that good performances will bring fans and support. Nobody will spend their money and time watching you lose to teams like Afghanistan.
Acha khelo bhai, sabhi dekhne ayenge, house full hoga. AVC mein bhi house full hai, duniya matches dekhne aayi hai.

Look at the support the volleyball team is getting.
We had 50,000 concurrent viewers. The match was insane, and set three was a real tough fight. The next season of Prime Volleyball is going to be absolutely stacked.
Indian volleyball legend Jimmy George would be proud of these boys.
The third set was tense.
Indian footballers and their fans should take this as inspiration. Cricket and the BCCI aren't the obstacles. These players earned respect through hard work and results. Over 100k people watched them live, and fan support keeps growing. With performances like these, brand deals, sponsorships, and opportunities will follow naturally. In sports, success attracts attention, not excuses. ⚽
I saw them climb from the 60s to 42 in the last six days, and live YouTube viewership jumped from 6-7K to 82K - insane progress in just six days.
Defeating a sporting nation like Australia in volleyball is massive. May this reign continue and keep any one sport from dominating us.
We jumped from rank 58 to 42 in just a week.
Updates on the schedule and rankings:
1. We may face Indonesia, South Korea or Qatar (very low chance of Oman), Thailand is most likely out.
2. I'd rather face South Korea or Indonesia than Qatar, because Qatar usually beats us but we have good records against South Korea and Indonesia.
3. Our ranking is 42 and we can reach 36, putting us as the 6th best in Asia behind China at 30.
