K. D. Singh (field hockey)

Hockey Codes

Kunwar Digvijay Singh, popularly known as Babu, lived from 2 February 1922 to 27 March 1978 and was an Indian field hockey player. He was born in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh. He is widely known for his passing ability and is considered by many to be the greatest dribbler of the game, a skill for which he is compared only to Dhyan Chand. The description here follows the lead of the source, which characterises his reputation rather than listing his match record, so the entry reports that reputation: a player admired for his dribbling and passing.
