I just hope marketeers and brands see value in this Indian Hockey victory. More often then not they are just riding a wave. Sponsor these players, continue to support them. It’s not fair that we celebrate them only when they win accolades.

For the unversed, India defeated Germany 5-4 in a high-intensity goal fest to win the bronze medal in men's hockey, their first medal in hockey at the Olympics after a gap of 41 years. India fought back brilliantly from a two-goal deficit to score an impressive 5-4 win that reminded its fans of the glory days when the Indians were a force to reckon with in World hockey.
Simranjeet Singh scored two goals while Harmanpreet Singh, Rupinderpal Singh, and Hardik Singh scored a goal apiece for India while for Germany Oruz, Furk, Nicolas Whellen, and Windfeder were on target.
