The Indian hockey team in 1985

In 1985 in Australia, India didn’t have the most memorable of tournaments, yet they, along with the Germans, produced one of the best matches of hockey ever.

India were 5-1 down with just 8 minutes on the clock. It was then that a skinny fullback by the name of Pargat Singh rocked the German boat. In no time, India was breathing down Germany’s neck and the score read 5-4.

And in the dying moments came a goal from the Indians that not only ensured that India drew level with the Germans but also etched their names in the annals of the game’s history for scripting one of the most unbelievable turnarounds.
