India won bronze by defeating Spain

India won the bronze medal by defeating Spain 2-1 on Thursday. With this, Sreejesh said goodbye to hockey. Sreejesh has been an important member of the Indian hockey team for a long time. He also performed brilliantly in the Paris Olympics and stood like a wall in front of the opposing team. In the bronze medal match against Spain, Sreejesh made great saves in the last quarter and prevented them from taking the lead. In this way, the team bid farewell to Sreejesh with a victory.

Also, fans were constantly demanding Sreejesh’s return after his retirement. Regarding this, he said that this is the right time to bid farewell. I think this is the right way to bid farewell to the Olympic Games. With a medal. We are not going home empty handed which is a big thing. I respect people’s feelings but some decisions are difficult. Taking a decision at the right time makes the situation beautiful. So my decision will not change.
