Dhyan Chand is famous as the 'Hockey Wizard' all over the world. Today's sports fans know little about this genius who left an indelible mark on the game. Decades back, Dhyan Chand was one of world's top sportsmen – in league with the great Don Bradman, Jesse Owens and Babe Ruth. Major Dhyan Chand Singh was an Indian hockey player. He was part of the gold winning Indian team in three Olympic Games. He was awarded Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour in 1956. He got the title “Chand” or “Moon” from his first coach Punkaj Gupta, who seeing his exceptional skills, had predicted that one day he would shine like a moon. Dhyan Chand was born on August 29, 1905. His father Sameshwar Dutt Singh was an Indian Army Subedar, who played hockey in the army. He joined the Indian Army at the tender age of sixteen as a Sepoy of the Punjab Regiment. Subedar – Major Bhole Tiwari of the Brahmin Regiment noticed his dribbling skills. Tiwari himself was a good hockey player. He recognised the talent in Dhyan and became his mentor. Tiwari laid the foundations of his game. Dhyan with his hard work and talent became a wizard of hockey. His great control on the ball in the field left the spectators awestruck. Once in Tokyo, the officials broke his hockey stick to search for a magnet inside it. They thought that there was a magnet in his hockey and so the ball stuck to it. He said good bye to International Hockey in 1948. He became virtually synonymous with hockey, playing numerous matches
