Celebrating Passion & Excellence Ashwal Rai.
Volleyball has a special place in the hearts of sports enthusiasts across India. In recent years, a new generation of talented players has emerged, breathing fresh life into the sport. One such standout talent is Ashwal Rai, a rising star in Indian volleyball. His journey from a small town to representing the national team showcases both his dedication and the potential for Indian volleyball on the global stage. Ashwal hails from a modest background, born and raised in a small town in India. His passion for volleyball ignited at a young age, thanks to the local sports clubs that promoted the game. Ashwal's journey from playing on dusty village courts to standing on international platforms is a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence. Ashwal's talent quickly caught the eye of scouts and coaches. He made his debut for the Indian national team in 2012.

His exceptional spiking abilities and impeccable timing on the block made him a formidable presence at the net. His dedication to improving his skills and a strong work ethic helped him stand out from the competition. Rai has won several individual and team awards throughout his career. He was named the Best Middle Blocker at the 2019 Asian Volleyball Championship and the 2021 Pro Volleyball League.
