Indian cricket star Jemimah Rodrigues has shared a heartwarming and unseen clip capturing the Indian women’s cricket team enjoying a spirited bhangra session with legendary hockey player PR Sreejesh. This video, which dates back to the 2022 Commonwealth Games in England, showcases a moment of camaraderie between the cricket and hockey teams.
The clip surfaced shortly after PR Sreejesh’s remarkable performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where he played a pivotal role in securing a bronze medal for the Indian hockey team. On August 8, 2024, Sreejesh’s side triumphed over Spain in a thrilling match, cementing his legendary status in Indian hockey by helping the team achieve back-to-back Olympic medals—a feat not accomplished since 1972.

Throughout the match, Sreejesh’s goalkeeping was exemplary, featuring crucial saves from open play and penalty corners. One particularly memorable save occurred just minutes before the final whistle, preserving India’s narrow 2-1 lead. As the game concluded, Sreejesh’s teammates celebrated his outstanding career by running after him, jumping over him, and bowing in tribute as a mark of respect for his contributions to the sport.
Jemimah Rodrigues had previously spoken about her admiration for Sreejesh and fellow athlete PV Sindhu during the Commonwealth Games, and the recent video serves as a nostalgic reminder of their shared moments of joy and celebration.
