By IANS News April 28, 2025 • 20:32 PM View: 440

Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna: PR Sreejesh, former goalkeeper of the Indian Men’s Hockey Team and current coach of the Indian Junior Men’s Team, has been honoured with the Padma Bhushan, India’s third-highest civilian award.

Hockey India on Monday, proudly congratulated Sreejesh for receiving this prestigious recognition.

This remarkable recognition places Sreejesh alongside the legendary Major Dhyan Chand, making him only the second hockey player in history to receive the Padma Bhushan. Dhyan Chand was bestowed with this honour in 1956, and nearly seven decades later, Sreejesh’s contribution to Indian hockey earns him a place among the greats.
