Three years after its establishment, India clinched its first Olympic gold medal at the 1928 Amsterdam Games, defeating the Netherlands in the final, a triumph that marked the beginning of a glorious chapter in world hockey.
In the final, Bindra and Finland’s Henri Hakkinen were tied at the top heading into the last shot. Holding his nerve, Bindra fired a 10.8, his best score of the finals to edge past Hakkinen and secure the gold.
The Team, led by Rohit, will be playing matches in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands between 20th and 29th May.
