New Delhi: Former hockey player Ashok Kumar, son of the famous Indian player Major Dhyan Chand, who is called the wizard of hockey, has congratulated the Indian team on winning the gold medal in the Asian Games-2023.
He said, "When this team went to play the Asian Games, I felt that this team should definitely win this medal in Asia."
He said that 'when this team was going to participate in the Asian Games, I had told two players that Indian hockey has now reached the place where we have to establish our dominance in Asia. We have to keep ourselves on top.'
Underlining the importance of defeating a strong team like Japan, he said that defeating a team like Japan by 5 goals is a big victory.
Ashok Kumar said, "I felt very good that the Indian players have defeated a strong team like Japan which has been playing hockey for many years. Winning over such a team by five goals is a big victory. After the 1968 Olympics, a victory by this huge margin had not been achieved over Japan till now. So this was a very big victory."
