Pre-match talk

PR Sreejesh on India's goalkeeping department: "Good goalkeepers are incoming. (Krishan) Pathak is getting really well. Pawan (Malik) is there with us. Suraj (Karkera) is also there. We have a good keepers' pool at the junior level. Goalkeeping is a responsible job, and once you concede goals, you should know how to handle that pressure and situation and how to manage it. Experience is going to help you with that, while I also believe the goalkeeping is in good hands now," he said.

Sreejesh played his 300th game for India in the semi-final against Japan
