Mary Kom To PV Sindhu: 10 Greatest Sporting Moments In Indian History
Mary Kom To PV Sindhu: 10 Greatest Sporting Moments In Indian History Niharika Nayak Hyderabd040-395603080 November 1, 2019
Previously sports was limited to cricket and football, and other activities like hockey and wrestling were not given much prominence. However, sports has lately been gaining a lot of attention in Bollywood with inspirational biopics like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Mary Kom that had grabbed critical acclaim. Given that Indian sportspeople have always been making waves across countries in various fields of sports, let’s take a look at some of the greatest moments in our sporting history.
1. India Wins First Hockey Gold Medal Following Independence

To the surprise of many, the Indian Hockey Federation managed to pull together a hockey team despite undergoing the turmoil faced during partition. However, the Federation managed to put together a team, including legends like Leslie Claudius, who would go on to compete in four Olympics and Balbir Singh. They were led by captain Kishan Lal, and they went on to beat our once rulers England in the finals.
2. Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav Bags Bronze For India

Hailing from a small village located just 75kms North of Kolhapur, Maharashtra, Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav came from a family of esteemed wrestlers. He proved he was a force to be reckoned with after defeating a formidable wrestler in his hometown at the tender age of eight. He went on to represent a free India at the Olympics in 1952 and win Bronze in the Bantamweight freestyle category in Helsinki. This was the first individual win for an Indian at the time, and he defeated players from Mexico, Canada, and Germany. Despite his marvelous feat that put a newly independent India on the map, he came back to little recognition from Indian media. Following the Olympics, Jadhav dedicated his life to serving the country as a police officer and was praised for his hard work and dedication to his career. Unfortunately, after his retirement, he was not provided with a pension and died in poverty. His story was forgotten until 1996 when Leander Paes became the second person to win a bronze medal. Soon Jadhav’s story gained attention, and he was posthumously awarded the Arjuna Award.
3. Mihir Sen Becomes First Indian To Swim Across The English Channel

The year 1958 proved to be a big one for India when long-distance swimmer Mihir Sen became the first Indian to swim the length of the English Channel from Dover to Calais. He continued his swimming streak in 1966 by managing to swim across five channels, including the strait of Gibraltar, Dardanelles, Panama Canal, Palk Strait, and Bosporus. He was awarded the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan in 1959 and 1967 for his contributions to the country, cementing his place as an unforgettable person in Indian sports history.
4. Milkha Singh Breaks The 400mm Olympic Record

Affectionately known as ‘The Flying Sikh’ Milkha Singh managed to break the 400mm Olympic record but fell short of winning the Bronze for Indian by 0.01 seconds. He managed to bag gold for India during the 1958 and 1962 games, respectively. Despite losing most of his family in the struggle following the partition of India, Milkha managed to make a name for himself as an incredible athlete.

Inspiring the world with her incredible story of hardships and trials, MC Mary Kom rose to international fame when she bagged a Bronze medal for India. Prior to her big Olympic win, Mary had won the World Amateur Boxing Championships five times.

She managed to defeat Japan’s formidable Nozomi Okuhara in straight sets just under a marker of thirty-seven minutes.

We’ve come a long way since the days of not recognizing athletes and sportspeople for their achievements, but we still have a long way to go. With Athletes finally being given somewhat of a celebrity status, we’re hoping they are well taken care of when they can no longer practice. What do you think of our list? Let us know in the comments below.

“I don’t mind repeating everything.”
Dhoni was born into a financially average family. His father, who worked at junior management positions in MECON was the sole support for Dhoni and his siblings, a sister, Jayanti Gupta and a brother, Narendra Singh Dhoni.
Dhoni studied in DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir in Ranchi and had an early inclination to excel in sports. His interest especially lay in football and badminton. Dhoni has been a goalkeeper for his football team and also played cricket for a local cricket team. During this time, Dhoni realized his strength in wicket keeping. He further honed his skills when he became a regular wicketkeeper at the Commando Cricket Club from 1995-1998. He was selected for the 1997/98 season of Vinoo Mankad Trophy Under-16 Championship, when he was lauded for his performance.
