    No he means field hockey, the National game of India

    Hockey is the national game of India; however, cricket is now the most popular sport. Since 1928, India has won 8 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze Olympic medals, although one has not been won since 1960. Cricket is one of the few sports that India is competitive with other teams in the world, which might explain the mania it inspires.
