HI congratulates PR Sreejesh on completing 250 International Caps

Hockey India congratulated PR Sreejesh on completing 250 international caps for India. The goalkeeper achieved this milestone during India's second match against Spain at the FIH Hockey Pro League on Sunday at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium.
