'Our team became Indian hockey’s last golden generation'

By Aslam Sher Khan

I still remember it as if it happened just yesterday. Just before our semifinal with hosts Malaysia, our team physician Dr Rajendra Kalra called me to his room. I was ushered in and introduced to a palmist. I don’t know from where Dr Kalra managed to get in one, but I was so desperate to get into the action that I didn’t even bother enquiring.
