Sreejesh Opens Up On 'dark Time' Of His Career, Andre Agassi's Role In His Comeback
Sultan Azlan Shah Cup: India won their first Olympic medal in men's field hockey since 1972 -- a bronze medal at Tokyo 2020. A key member of India's historic triumph, goalkeeper PR Sreejesh has opened up about India’s medal win in Tokyo, his injuries, and the struggles he had faced while returning to fitness.
In a conversation with Cricket World Cup winner Dinesh Karthik on JioCinema’s ‘Get Set Gold’, Sreejesh revealed the tough journey he had to endure between Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, marked by a career-threatening knee injury in 2017.
“In a tournament in 2017, Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, we played against Australia, and I had a collision with one of their players. I suffered an ACL, MCL, and meniscus tear on my right knee. The next day, I took an MRI scan for the injury and the coach came and said, ‘Sree, it's a grade 3 injury.’ Grade 3 means you can't rehab it, you need to go for a reconstruction surgery. Then, as long as I knew about the ACL injury, it's a career-threatening one,” Sreejesh said.
