Prime Minister Narendra Modi: India's legendary hockey goalkeeper P.R. Sreejesh, an integral part of the team that won the bronze medal at the just-concluded Olympic Games in Paris, was on Friday accorded a grand reception in his home state after he arrived at the Kochi Airport along with his family.

Sreejesh (36), who stood like a wall in front of the goal for nearly two decades, bid adieu to the game on a high with a second Olympic bronze medal after India beat Spain 2-1 in the play-off match.

Among the large crowd present at the airport were the Ernakulam District Collector, four legislators, and the office-bearers of the Kerala Olympic Association.
