From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The India national field hockey team represents India in international field hockey competitions.[ 1] It was the first non-European team to be a part of the International Hockey Federation .
In 1928 , the team won its first Olympic gold medal and until 1956 , the India men's team remained unbeaten in the Olympics, winning six gold medals in a row. The team had a 30-0 winning streak during this time, from their first game until losing in the 1960 gold medal final. India also won the 1975 World Cup .
In 2016, the Indian men's team won its first ever silver medal in Champions Trophy tournament against Australia.[ 2]
In 2016, at Rio Olympics 2016, the Indian men's team reached the knock-out stages of the hockey event after a gap of 36 years.
India is the most successful team ever in Olympics, having won eight Olympics gold medals till date. Their 2014 Team (who qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics after winning gold at the Asian Games ) is ranked sixth in the world.
