NEW DELHI: There have been many sportspersons in the world who have mastered their sport so much and honed their skills all over the world. Their name was permanently inscribed on the pages of history. But It is 'Dadda' or Dhyan Chand, who is known as the magician of Hockey. Dhyan Chand is the first player in the country to be beheaded by the whole world. Dhyan Chand, who runs the ball in a hockey stick and runs at lightning speed, is celebrating his birth anniversary today.
It is said that when he landed on the field it felt as if the ball was sticking to his hockey stick. He won three gold medals at the Olympics in his sport. That is why his birthday is celebrated as National Sports Day in the country. From practicing in the moonlight to the offering of German dictator Hitler, there are many things that make this player great.

2। Dhyan Chand was the highest scorer at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam. He scored 14 goals in total to give the team a gold medal. "The way he plays, it looks like magic," said a local journalist watching his game. He is the "magician" of hockey.
3। The hockey magician had so much control over the game that the ball was sticking to his stick. His talent was doubted by the Netherlands and he was comforted by the breaking of Dhyan Chand's hockey stick, not putting a magnet on the field.
