Hockey fans in the City of Lakes went gaga over the way PR Sreejesh helped Team India sroem into the semi-finals after his penalty shootout heroics in the India vs Great Britain hockey quarterfinal on Sunday. Vikas, from a private academy, reacting to the outstanding performance under pressure by the Hockey Team said, “It is inspiring for all the sportspersons! Congratulations to the team and all the best for the semis to our Heros. While another fan praised the duo saying, “Hardik Singh and Mandeep Singh combined beautifully to ensure the team’s berth in the semis.” As in a 10-man India showed character in a nerve-wracking, drama-filled quarterfinal contest to edge past Great Britain through a penalty shootout in the Paris Olympics at Yves du Manoir Stadium here on Sunday, it absolutely made our Sunday special, Ishita a Mass Communication student told ‘The Hitavada’.

 

After regulation time, the match went into penalty-shootout and PR Sreejesh is our hero. His match winning save in the penalty shootout for India led the team to the semi-finals. Fans on the social media were left in awe after the Indian team performed brilliantly after Amit Rohidas received a red card for stick in William Calnan’s face. Jitesh, a student of BCA said, “Wow. What character to defend with 10 men for that long. P R Sreejesh, You are the best in the business.”
