Indian Hockey is a team sport that has a rich history in India, dating back to the early 20th century. The game is played on grass or artificial turf, with two teams of eleven players each. India has been successful in international competitions, winning eight Olympic gold medals, particularly during the mid-20th century when players like Dhyan Chand became legends of the sport. The sport is governed by the Hockey India organization, which oversees national teams and domestic leagues. Indian Hockey has faced challenges in recent years, including competition from other sports, but it continues to have a passionate fan base and is working towards regaining its former glory on the world stage.
