Tokyo Olympics: In one of the historic wins, the Indian men’s hockey team won their first Olympic medal in 41 years and brought home the bronze medal. While the entire nation is going gaga over the stupendous win, little did the team know that they will be getting a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Hockey team captain Manpreet Singh and the team’s head coach Graham Reid and assistant coach Piyush Dubey received a call from none other than PM Modi congratulating them for their historic win.
“Bahut, bahut, bahut badhayi,” said PM Modi on the call as Manpreet Singh held the phone with the speaker on. Mr. Modi further congratulated the team for doing stupendous work at the Tokyo Olympics. The video of the phone conversation was shared by Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and Sports Authority of India Media on their official Twitter handle.
