India vs Singapore Live Score: Redemption time for Sreejesh!
India vs Singapore Live Score: PR Sreejesh’s wealth of experience in major tournaments for the Indian hockey team is undeniable. With over 300 matches under his belt, Sreejesh has been a cornerstone in the Indian squad for well over a decade. He played a pivotal role in the team’s transformation into a formidable force after their disappointment of failing to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Sreejesh led the Indian team as captain in the 2018 Asian Games, where they had to settle for bronze, despite entering the competition as favorites to defend the gold they had claimed in 2014.
However, since then, significant changes have reshaped the men’s hockey team. Under the guidance of Australian coach Graham Reid, they ended India’s nearly four-decade-long quest for an Olympic medal by securing a sensational bronze at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. This triumph was followed by a less-than-ideal exit from a home World Cup, as India failed to reach the quarter-finals, leading to Reid’s departure as head coach. In the same year, India reasserted themselves as strong contenders by winning the Asian Champions Trophy, making them clear favorites to clinch gold once more at the Asian Games.
Reflecting on the disappointment of four years ago, PR Sreejesh confessed to harboring some regrets about the fateful match against Malaysia at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta during the 2018 Asian Games.
