Indian cricketer KL Rahul has stepped into the world of volleyball as the co-owner of the Goa Guardians franchise, marking a significant development ahead of the Prime Volleyball League (PVL) Season 4, scheduled from October 2–26 in Hyderabad.
Speaking about his new role, Rahul expressed his passion for the sport:
“This feels like a full circle moment for me. PVL is a turning point for the sport in India. The bigger picture is to give volleyball the spotlight and screen time so that more people can watch it and love this sport. Volleyball has always been a sport I enjoyed, and I am excited to lend my voice and play my part in growing the sport in our country.”
The Goa Guardians, who will make their PVL debut this season, are backed by Raju Chekuri, principal owner and founder of Netenrich. Chekuri welcomed Rahul on board, stating:
“We are delighted to have KL Rahul join our ownership group. His passion for volleyball and belief in its potential will help us build a franchise that inspires fans and empowers athletes.”
The Prime Volleyball League, known for its fast-paced, television-first format, has become a vibrant platform for athletes and fans, bringing volleyball into the mainstream sporting conversation in India.
With KL Rahul’s entry into the PVL ecosystem, expectations are high for the Goa Guardians to make a strong impact both on and off the court, inspiring fans and giving volleyball the visibility it deserves.
