Retirement U-Turn After Paris Olympics 2024 Bronze Win? PR Sreejesh's 'Right Time' Reply
"This is the better way to finish," said iconic Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh on Thursday, ruling out any possibility of reversing his decision to retire from international hockey after inspiring the team to a second successive bronze medal in the Olympic Games. With Sreejesh playing in his last match, India beat Spain 2-1 in the third-place play-off to win back-to-back bronze medals at the showpiece. The last time, an Indian hockey team pulled off consecutive Olympic podium finishes was way back in 1972. "I think this is the better way to finish an Olympic Games, with a medal. We are not going home empty-handed, that's a great thing," Sreejesh said on 'Jio Cinema'.
