Congratulations to each & every member of the hockey contingent on winning the #Bronze for India!
A fantastic hard fought win…The penalty corner save by Sreejesh in the dying moments of the game was amazing.

In the last three minutes, India gave Germany another penalty corner. Sreejesh and the Indian defenders did not let Germany take advantage of this opportunity. India had lost against Belgium in the semi-finals, while Germany was defeated by Australia.
India won gold in 1980
The history of Indian hockey has been wonderful. But India has not won any medal in the Olympic Games since 1980. India has brought back the old era of the medal race after a long gap of 41 years.
