The Indian hockey teams have the wherewithal and talent to gladden the hearts of the faithful with an Olympic medal after more than four decades.
History will be repeated when men’s hockey team captain Manpreet Singh carries the Tricolour, along with boxing legend M.C. Mary Kom, at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games. Manpreet will be India’s first hockey player to do so after Pargat Singh in 1996.
