In the world of sports, certain individuals transcend their era to become legends whose names echo through the corridors of time. Major Dhyan Chand, the luminous star of Indian hockey, is one such luminary whose extraordinary prowess on the field earned him a place among the pantheon of sporting greats. His tryst with hockey commenced on the makeshift fields of Jhansi.
Dhyan Chand's association with the Indian hockey team brought forth a golden era for the sport and the nation. His mastery over the game was such that he earned the moniker "The Wizard" for his seemingly magical control over the ball. His performances in the 1928, 1932, and 1936 Olympic Games remain etched in the annals of history, with his goal-scoring feats leaving spectators and opponents alike in awe.
This book explores the challenges and triumphs of Dhyan Chand's life beyond the hockey field. His dedication to his craft, his humility in the face of success, and his role as a soldier in the Indian Army showcase the depth of his character and his commitment to serving both his nation and the sport he loved.
