On Thursday, August 8, the Indian hockey team scripted history as they won their second straight bronze medal in the Olympics. The Harmanpreet Singh-led side beat Spain 2-1 in the bronze medal match. 

It was a special match for the Indian side, as their star goalkeeper Shreejesh featured in his last international game and bid adieu to the game after 18 years. 

Meanwhile, several renowned figures across the globe and professions took to social media platforms to hail the Indian hockey team for their win. The Indian cricket team's head coach Gautam Gambhir also praised Shreejesh's legacy. 

“Hockey is an emotion” जय हिन्द! A perfect farewell to our champion #Shreejesh! Brilliant Bronze," wrote Gambhir. 

Talking about Gambhir, he has had a mixed start to his campaign as India's head coach, as India registered a 3-0 win in the T20Is, but lost 0-2 in the ODI series. It was their first bilateral defeat against the Island Nation in 27 years.

Not just Gambhir but former head coach Ravi Shastri too congratulated the Indian hockey team for their feat.

"Richly deserved! The quality of hockey displayed by India in this Olympics is something I haven't seen in the last 15-20 years. What truly stood out was their fitness and the speed with which they moved. A team worthy of a Gold Medal."


Talking about Indian cricket team, they will next be seen in action against Bangladesh in the home Test series starting from September 19.
