Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 17 (ANI): As the Kolkata Thunderbolts' juggernaut came to a halt after facing their first defeat in the Prime Volleyball League against the Hyderabad Black Hawks on Tuesday, Thunderbolts spiker Vinit Kumar laid emphasis on his team's need to learn from the defeat and rectify their mistakes in upcoming matches.

Speaking about his team's performance after the match, he said, "We were unfortunate to come out second best against a challenging Hyderabad side yesterday, but I want to commend our performance. We stayed in the contest all throughout the match and didn't let our heads drop even when things weren't going our way. That is the mark of a team with great fighting spirit, and I'm sure that the boys are already focused on putting their best foot forward in our next game." (ANI)
