The RR Kabel Prime Volleyball: At just 22, Joel Benjamin is fast rising as one of the brightest young stars in the Prime Volleyball League.

The outside hitter from Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, is a part of the new generation of players making their mark. After an impressive performance in season 3 with Chennai Blitz, Joel was picked by the Bengaluru Torpedoes for Rs 6.5 lakh at this year’s auction, underlining his growing reputation in the sport.

Speaking about his journey, Joel said, “I started playing when I was 10, inspired by my father and motivated by my elder brother, who also plays in the PVL. Every step has been about improving and challenging myself. The league has given me the platform to test myself against the best.”_
