The Men in Blue enjoy an upper hand in the games involving the two teams.

India men’s hockey team, on their quest for a ninth Olympic gold medal, have begun their campaign at the Paris Games 2024 with an opening win against New Zealand on July 27, Saturday. The Men in Blue are the most successful team ever in the Olympics, having won eight gold medals – 1928, 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964 and 1980.

Team India led by Harmanpreet Singh features five players who made their Olympic debut this time. The captain is representing India for the third time in the Olympic Games, having made his bow at the 2016 edition.
