Which sport is the national sport in India? - Most of you will answer HOCKEY. This is because : The history of HOCKEY 🏑 sports in India is deeply rooted in Indian history. India has the maximum number of gold medals i.e. 8 in the Olympics. On 29th August, we celebrate National Sports Day because of the birthday of Indian hockey legend MAJOR DHYANCHAND. He turned down the offer of Hitler to play for Germany and continue for India. He was a master at sticking the ball with hockey like a magnet, which made him suspect and break his hockey to clarify. Both male and female teams show courage and revival in the game again. Because of the support through sponsorship of the Odisha government, new ways of training, skillsets, and broadcast led it to a higher standard. We must support hockey as well as the spirit of all sports!!
