On Thursday, the Indian men’s hockey team defeated Spain 2-1 to clinch the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. It was their second consecutive bronze medal at the Olympics, as they also finished third at the Tokyo Olympics. The Harmanpreet Singh-led team went down in the second quarter when Spanish captain Marc Miralles scored in the 18th minute from a penalty stroke.
However, team India did not lose heart as Harmanpreet scored in the 30th and 33rd minutes to hand them the lead. While Spain continued to launch attacks, PR Sreejesh stood like a wall in front of the goal and managed to guide his team to a brilliant victory.
For Sreejesh, it was the final match; he has already announced his retirement, and after the match, the entire team paid an emotional tribute to the celebrated goalkeeper of the Indian hockey team. The entire team bowed down in front of the goalkeeper as a show of their respect after the match.
Even the social media was filled with appreciation for Sreejesh, and the picture of the Indian hockey team’s gesture for the experienced goalkeeper has gone viral.
