Manpreet Singh, the former India captain, reflected on the team's journey and shared a heartfelt vow made before the tournament. "We had already decided that if we win a medal at the Olympics, we will offer prayers at Sri Harmandir Sahib."
Skipper Harmanpreet expressed his immense joy at leading the team to victory and highlighted the growing support for hockey in Punjab. "This success is not just ours; it belongs to every fan and supporter who believed in us. The love for hockey in Punjab is stronger than ever."
Moreover, Punjab's state government has decided to award Rs 1 crore to each player of the team from Punjab following their bronze medal triumph.
