Sreejesh wants to win it for army
BANGALORE: Acknowledging the supreme sacrifice made by Indian soldiers at the borders, national hockey captain PR Sreejesh on Wednesday vowed that his team will give its all to beat Pakistan in the Asian Champions Trophy in Malaysia next month. Sreejesh did not mention the recent Uri terror attack which led to heightened tensions between the two countries but said his team wouldn’t want to disappoint Indian soldiers by losing against Pakistan in the Asian Champions Trophy to be played at Kuantan in Malaysia between October 20 and 30. “India-Pakistan match brings a lot of excitement to the table. We want to give hundred per cent. We don’t want to disappoint our soldiers by losing, especially when they sacrifice their lives in the exchange of fire at the borders,” Sreejesh said. India face Pakistan on Oct 23 in their round-robin match in the tournament to be played among the continent’s top six teams.
