NEW DELHI: Amit Rohidas is grateful to his teammates for never making him feel excluded after his red card caused the Indian hockey team to play with 10 men for 42 minutes during their quarterfinal match against Great Britain. Rohidas suffered through a few sleepless nights while dealing with the trauma of missing out on an immensely important Olympics semi-final.
The Indian men's hockey team made a new record by winning their 13th Olympic hockey medal in Paris, securing a bronze medal in spite of Rohidas' red card in the quarterfinal match against Great Britain, which resulted in his suspension for the game's semifinal.
