Commonwealth Games Gold Medal: Hockey India on Saturday paid tribute to former India women's chief coach Gurdial Singh Bhangu, who passed away at the age of 86.

Bhangu was the coach of India's women's team during their Commonwealth Games 2002 gold medal-winning run, one which inspired director Shimit Amin to make the Chak de India movie a few years later.
