Indian hockey is suddenly in the forefront. Ironically it's the man at the back who's been holding the key to this success.

India goalkeeper Parattu Raveendran Sreejesh, or simply Sree as his teammates call him, has been solid under the bar for Sardar Singh's Men in Blue, both at the Asian Games in Incheon last month, where he saved two attempts in the final shootout from Pakistan to help India clinch gold after 16 years, and then in the backyard of world champions Australia recently, where the hockey heroes registered a historic 3-1 series victory.
