Balbir Singh Sr Sir: The sport of hockey has always held a special place for the Indian sporting fraternity.

The captain of the Indian Men’s Hockey Team, Harmanpreet Singh, is considered to be one of the modern legends of the game. He draws inspiration from the past, particularly from the 1948 London Olympics, where India secured a historic 4-0 victory over Great Britain in the final, claiming a gold medal just a year after gaining independence.

This was the first time that the Indian flag was hoisted at the Olympics.
