India’s best hockey player, born in the wrong generation is a tag that has stuck onto Dhanraj Pillai, all his life. Despite some immaculate individual performances, Pillai has only one gold medal from the 2003 Champions Challenge to show for it.
However, he would go onto play for a host of foreign teams such as the Stuttgart Kickers in Germany and the Kuala Lumpur Hockey club in Malaysia. He was also the only Indian hockey player from his generation to receive the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna.
