Amit Rohidas Reflects on Olympic Suspension

Amit Rohidas faced a one-match suspension after receiving a red card during the Indian men’s hockey team's quarter-final against Great Britain at the Paris Olympics. The team played with 10 men for 42 minutes but won the match 4-2 in a shootout, thanks to the exceptional performance of goalkeeper PR Sreejesh. Despite Rohidas' absence, India narrowly lost the semi-final against Germany but went on to secure their second consecutive bronze medal by defeating Spain 2-1. Rohidas expressed gratitude for his teammates' emotional support during his suspension, which helped him cope with the trauma of missing the crucial semi-final. The red card was issued after a video referral upgraded an on-field warning for a dangerous play that inadvertently struck British player Will Calnan.
