A hugely memorable experience covering the ACT in Punjab. Chandigarh was a lovely city, full of greenery and great food. I also had the opportunity to visit some wonderful colleges in Jalandhar, with vast playgrounds where hockey legends Pargat Singh and Ajit Pal Singh once played. Another highlight was seeing Dhyan Chand's hockey stick from the 1936 Olympics at the NIVIA Sports Museum. And, of course, there were the two magnificent hockey stadiums, packed with passionate fans. #hockey #indianhockey #Punjab #ACThockey #AsianChampionsTrophy
