Paris Olympics: Gambhir, Sehwag Hail Hockey Team For Winning 2nd Bronze In A Row
Captain Harmanpreet Singh: The Indian men's cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir and former cricketer Virender Sehwag congratulated the Indian men's hockey team for winning the second consecutive bronze in the Olympics on Thursday.
India beat Spain 2-1 at Yves-du-Manoir Stadium in the Paris Olympics to win back-to-back bronze medals at the Olympic Games. A befitting farewell to legendary goalkeeper PR Sreejesh who played his last international hockey match here on Thursday.
Captain Harmanpreet Singh (30', 33') scored an important double for India, and the team gave it their all to make this feat happen. Winning the quarterfinal, with just 10 members on the pitch, and then returning from a heartbreak loss in the semifinal against Germany, India showed their grit to end their campaign on the podium.
