Today, we are talking about such a game, field hockey is considered to be India's national sport or pride. But when we came to know about the information of the people about this game, then it is only known that Hockey is the national game of India and the great player of this game was Major Dhyanchand, also knew more about these great players.
Let's say we have it in books and there are stadiums in many cities in the name of these.
If you tried to find out more, people do not know much about hockey, you get the answer. You know that hockey is one of the oldest sports in the game played today. Field hockey has a long-standing heritage of India. And the historical facts of hockey tell us that from 1928 to 1956, India's performance in hockey at various international forums was unprecedented and won 6 consecutive medals. That is why this game was accepted as a national sport in the country.
But currently the popularity of this sport is decreasing. If you search for a cricket academy in a city like Delhi (NCR), then you can get around 500 to 1000, if you search for a hockey academy, then you Perhaps 100 to 200 can be found, this is because of the decreasing popularity.
