Mammootty praises PR Sreejesh's legacy as Indian Hockey goalkeeper retires, calls his Olympics game 'fitting finale'

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for sports and cinema, I must say that the retirement of PR Sreejesh from the Indian field hockey team is a bittersweet moment. Having witnessed the highs and lows of his illustrious career, it’s heartening to see him retire on a high note after securing the bronze medal at the Paris Olympic Games 2024. The victory was indeed a remarkable finale to his career, and I wholeheartedly concur with Mammootty’s sentiment that Sreejesh’s passion for the game will inspire many more to take up the sport.


PR Sreejesh, the goalkeeper of India’s field hockey team, concluded his impressive career on a high by retiring after securing a bronze medal for Team India at the Paris Olympic Games 2024 on August 8. As he had previously announced that this would be his last game, the victory, which earned us a bronze medal, was a fitting end to his successful career. Following our win, renowned actor Mammootty expressed his congratulations and admiration for PR Sreejesh’s lasting impact on social media.

Mammootty posted on his X handle, “What a perfect ending to such an illustrious career! @16Sreejesh, I hope your incredible enthusiasm for the game will motivate countless others to join the sport. Wishing you endless joy as you begin a new chapter. Congratulations to Team India for winning the Bronze Medal at Paris 2024.”

My heartfelt congratulations go out to these players. The sport of Hockey stirs deep emotions within us Indians, and this achievement will undoubtedly boost its popularity among our nation’s young generation.”

In an outburst of joy, PR Sreejesh exulted emotionally as the team secured a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics on August 8 with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Spain. Reminiscent of his iconic celebration from India’s Tokyo Olympics bronze triumph, Sreejesh perched victoriously on the goalpost and raised his hands in a triumphant gesture towards the sky.

Prior to India’s Paris Olympics competition, Sreejesh made a heartfelt announcement that this tournament would be his final hockey match. As Sreejesh was swept up by the triumph, he humbly knelt down in front of his goalkeeping gloves, acknowledging victory over Spain, when the referee declared India as the winner.
