India Men's National Field Hockey Team

The India men's national field hockey team represents India in international field hockey competition, administered by Hockey India, and historically one of the most successful national teams in the sport, having won multiple Olympic gold medals in the sport's early Olympic history, including a run of six consecutive gold medals from 1928 to 1956 during which the team was widely regarded as unbeatable. Playing in blue, the team's early dominance, built around legendary forward Dhyan Chand, whose prolific goal-scoring and stick skill made him one of the most celebrated athletes in Indian sporting history, gave way to a decline in international competitiveness from the 1970s onward, though the team won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, its first Olympic medal in field hockey in over four decades.
