The Indian hockey team’s hard-fought and historic silver medal finish at the FIH Champions Trophy has received a very special stamp of approval.

India hockey wizard Dhyan Chand’s son and former India captain Ashok Kumar is in town to visit his grandson Ambar, daughter Preeti Singh and son-in-law Dr Sandeep Juneja. And the entire family, glued to their TV sets at their Navy Nagar home in Colaba, soaked in every moment of the young Indian team’s 0-0 battle with world champions Australia in Saturday’s final in London.
