Jagbir Singh is a former India field hockey player who represented India in two Olympics in 1988 (Seoul) and 1992 (Barcelona).

Indian hockey was at its all-time high at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 when the Indian men's team entered the finals, while the Indian women had already won a bronze medal defeating the defending champions New Zealand in a penalty shootout and turning the clock this time in their favour. Viewers watching other sports were all glued back to hockey for the India vs Australia men's hockey final, a match not many would now like to remember, not just because of the scoreline but also the complete surrender by Team India.
