Tokyo 2020: India gear up for tricky British challenge

The hockey rivalry between India and Great Britain is steeped in history. On August 12, 1948, almost a year after India gained independence from the British rule, the Balbir Singh Sr led-team blanked the hosts 4-0 at a packed Wembley stadium in London to claim independent India’s maiden Olympic gold. Less than two weeks from the 73rd anniversary of the landmark day, the two teams face off in the quarterfinals at the Oi stadium.
