Speaking of India’s participation in the FIH Hockey World Cups, the team has played all the editions so far since the inception of the tournament. The men in blue have won only one title so far in the history of the Hockey World Cup and that came in the third edition of the tournament 48 years back in the year 1975.

India also won the bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after a long gap of 41 years courtesy of star drag-flicker and current skipper Harmanpreet Singh. It was the time when the team got recognition once again in the game which they dominated for a couple of decades in the last century. Notably, the skipper Harmanpreet also won the ‘player of the year award for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022.
