In the latest episode of Hockey Te Charcha, we speak with none other than the Indian Men’s Hockey team’s veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh. Sreejesh, who is nicknamed the ‘Great Wall of India’ for his heroic performances in goal for the Indian National Team over the last 18 years, opens up about his humble background and why he chose to pursue hockey as a kid at a time when other sports were more popular in his home state of Kerala.

Speaking about his journey from being a youngster who dreamed of representing India at the biggest stage one day to playing an instrumental role in securing India’s Bronze Medal in the Tokyo Olympics 2020, Sreejesh reflects on the many highs and lows in an international career that has spanned nearly two decades. He also speaks candidly about the special relationship that he shares with his father.

On a lighter note, Sreejesh gives his fans and listeners a glimpse into his personal life as he speaks about his likes, dislikes, and his favourite comfort food. The ace Indian goalkeeper even tells us about his casting choice for the actor who should play him if a biopic is ever made on his life and his storied career in International hockey.

Tune into this episode of Hockey Te Charcha to find out more about the man himself: PR Sreejesh.
