NEW DELHI: There's been a clamour for PR Sreejesh to reconsider his decision to retire post the Paris Olympics. But his reaction sums up the call he has taken: "I once got very good advice. You should always leave when people ask 'why' and not when they say 'why not'," said India's hockey legend as he put down his goalkeeping kit after the team won a second consecutive bronze medal in the French capital last week.
The legendary custodian got a kind of send-off, both on and off the field, that every sports person dreams of. He marked his farewell game with an Olympic medal and on Wednesday was felicitated in a way that no Indian hockey player has ever been before.
