Stunning gameplay from captain Harmapreet Singh and PR Sreejesh helped India secure another bronze medal for the country at the Paris Olympics 2024. They defeated Spain by 2-1 at the Yves du Manoir Stadium.



Goalkeeper PR Sreejesh played a crucial role in India's campaign in the mega event. He made multiple saves during the matches to keep the side in the game.
