China is not particularly known for their hockey prowess and are World Cup debutants here with a world ranking of No. 17. But they are world famous for their mass manufacturing ability. So, yesterday when they stunningly scored not one but two goals to hold World No. 7 England 2-2 in a league match at the Kalinga Stadium, one scribe smartly remarked: "Looks like China have also started manufacturing goals now."
Sree wears a hoodie to avoid being recognised
India goalkeeper PR Sreejesh did a MS Dhoni with some of the hockey fans at the Kalinga Stadium here on Thursday. Just like in the MS Dhoni movie, the India cricketer is seen wearing a helmet to avoid the crowds while out shopping with a friend, Sreejesh was seen wearing a black hood t-shirt while strolling with teammates at the Fan Village. And it worked. He calmly walked through groups of fans who didn't even take a second look at him. However, probably feeling sorry for having dodged them, he later returned, took off his hood and happily posed for selfies with the pleasantly surprised fans.
