PARIS: India custodian PR Sreejesh got a standing ovation even from the British fans on Sunday. The 37-yearold was emotional, trying to soak in the moment as chants of "Sreejesh, Sreejesh" from the stands made it a morning to remember for all those who were at the Yves-du-Manoir.
"I grew up hearing chants of 'Sachin, Sachin' and when you hear your name being chanted in such a big stadium, it feels special. That's the beauty of hockey. Irrespective of where you are from, if you are playing well, everyone will support you. Sometimes, I wondered if they were calling Britain, Britain or my name. Then I realized it was my name only. But I stood grounded and won," Sreejesh said.
