| Hopefully, we can finish on top: Sreejesh | | | agencies
NEW DELHI, Jan 11: All set to play in his fourth FIH men's hockey World Cup and the third on home soil, veteran India goalkeeper P R Sreejesh feels his team can do better than the quarterfinal exit in the last edition, and even finish on top of the podium this time. The showpiece begins here on Friday. India topped their pool after winning two matches and drawing one, but lost to eventual runners-up Netherlands 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the 2018 edition, which was played at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, one of the two venues this time.
"It is a great honour for me to play my fourth World Cup for our country and the special part is, this is my third World Cup on home soil. I don't think any player has had this privilege of playing three World Cups at home," Sreejesh said ahead of India's first Pool D match on Friday against Spain.
