Indian volleyball team has created history by cruising in to the semifinals of the 2009 FIVB men's Junior Volleyball World Championship. Indian team defeated Belgium 18-25, 25-19, 25-16, 22-25, 15-11 (3-2) to qualify for the semifinal for the first time in the Indian volleyball history at the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi on Thursday.

The fifth and last set was very close but Indian team held their nerves to win the set and match. Argentina is another team from Pool E to make into the semifinals.
