August 29th or the day when the legendary hockey player Dhyan Chand was born is celebrated as National Sports Day. Known as “The Wizard”, Dhyan Chand won three Olympic medals in field hockey ( 1928 Amsterdam, 1932 Los Angeles and 1936 Berlin) and is considered as one of the greatest field hockey players of all time.
At the age of 16, he joined the Army where he started to play hockey and took it up seriously.

Cricket legend Don Bradman had said- “He (Dhyan Chand) scores goals like we score runs in cricket.”
On the occasion of Rashtriya Khel Diwas, we wish that India gets more and more legendary players like him.
