TOKYO : Indian hockey will get a massive shot in the arm after the men's team won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Games on Thursday, said goalkeeper Sreejesh Parattu Raveendran.

However, they ended their medal drought by beating Germany 5-4 on Thursday, with Parattu Raveendran saving the day by racking up nine saves, including a number of penalty corners late in the match."In the 1980s, we won the last medal and after that, nothing. Today we won it. This gives a push and gives energy to the youngsters to pick up hockey, play this game."

"He was the reason behind me being here and I just wanted to tell him that I achieved it and this medal goes to my dad," he added.
