India’s guardian in front of the goal, PR Sreejesh is the glue that holds the Indian hockey team together. He replaced Sardar Singh as the captain of the team, and has been nominated for FIH Goalkeeper of the Year award for his exploits on the field.

Despite being ruled out of the Asian Champions Trophy final and subsequently for the Australia tour owing to injury, Sreejesh impressed hockey experts and fans alike with his performances before that, especially with the podium finishes at the Sultan Azlan Shah and the Champions trophy in London.

The icing on the cake, came forth when he achieved a remarkable feat with the Junior Hockey Team which won the World Cup as he was a part of the support staff in his first coaching stint as the guru for the young goalkeepers.
