Paris Olympic Games: With the Indian team gearing up for the Paris Olympic Games which is 25 days away, excitement is mounting in P.R. Sreejesh’s household where his family eagerly awaits the hockey star to play his fourth Olympic Games, a record so far held by the legendary Dhanraj Pillay.

In a freewheeling conversation with Hockey Te Charcha, Familia – a special series launched by Hockey India ahead of the Olympic Games where family members of Indian hockey stars share insights into the support system at home that allows the players to chase their dreams, Aneeshya Sreejesh opened up about the champion’s journey in the sport.

“We were classmates and have known each other for 22 years. I was an athlete at that time. I have seen his whole journey, right from when he was struggling. It is great to see him achieve his goals now.”
