Indian hockey legends inspired me: 4-time Olympian from Kenya
It was a treat to watch Indian hockey legends on the field, recalls 87-year-old Avtar Singh Sohal, who has represented Kenya at four Olympics from 1960-72. Watching Indian legends Major Dhyan Chand, Gurbachan Singh and Kishen Lal play in Nairobi in 1947, the then young Sohal was inspired to pick up the hockey stick.
