Fans hail PR Sreejesh as the great wall of India after men in blue downs Great Britain in quarterfinals of Paris Olympics

With 10 players on the field, the score tied, and chances of winning looking stiff, India took the game from Great Britain at the Paris Olympics 2024 and entered the semifinals in style.

What a match, what a performance, and now the quarterfinals are done! The Indian field hockey team is in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics in 2024. All praise seems to fall short for this champion line-up. Despite being down to 10 players for 42 minutes and under huge pressure in the second half—yes, that’s correct, only 10 players on the field for India as Amit Rohidas received a red card for an unnatural moment of stick contact with a Great Britain player’s face—India initially had the lead. However, the Great Britain team scored just before halftime to level the score at 1-1.

The game continued for 60 minutes with no goals from either side, eventually going to a shootout. In the shootout, the goalkeeper and former captain of the Indian national team, PR Sreejesh, showcased wall-like goalkeeping. His performance not only saved the game for India but also made us believe that the field hockey team is here to do something amazing. Let’s have a look at all the reactions after the Indian hockey team defeated Great Britain by a 4-2 margin in the shootout. For India, it was captain Harmanpreet Singh who scored from the penalty corner, marking his seventh goal at Paris 2024.
