Indian Olympian Gurbax Singh Grewal: Hockey India on Saturday expressed profound grief on the passing of former Indian Olympian Gurbax Singh Grewal, who passed away at the age of 84, and said his dedication towards nurturing future generations will always be remembered.

A member of India’s bronze medal-winning team at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Gurbax Singh Grewal leaves behind a rich legacy as a player, mentor, and administrator.

A speedy forward during his playing days, he was part of the historic Indian contingent at the 1968 Olympics alongside his brother Balbir Singh Grewal, marking the first time in Indian hockey history that two real brothers represented the country together at the same Olympic Games.
