We don’t have enemies among Pakistanis…

Roshan Kujur, who plays the midfielder position in the Indian hockey team, told Times of India, “It was not that we were refused to shake hands. As players, we came to play with hard work and commitment and we did not see them as our enemy. That’s why we shook hands. They are also players like us.”

This Indian player further said that he always wants to win against Pakistan. He said, “We want to beat them every time, but the match was a draw. Still, it was a good match.”
