The actor who is a sports enthusiast was thrilled to host the discussion. It was for the first time that he was conducting a sports event with legends to pay tribute. “Indian hockey is synonymous to Dhyan Chand. We have grown up listening to legends of Dhyan Chand in the hockey field. Interacting with the great players just before Dhyan Chand’s birthday and getting to know more about Indian Hockey is in itself an achievement for me. All these former players spoke about their experiences of playing with Dhyan Chand,” said Babushaan.
