Who among the following was part of the gold medal winning Indian hockey team of 1928 Summer Olympics?
Major Dhyan Chand
The question asks which of the named individuals was part of the Indian hockey team that won gold at the 1928 Summer Olympics.
At the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, India won its very first Olympic gold medal in men's field hockey, beating the Netherlands 3-0 in the final without conceding a single goal in the entire tournament.
Major Dhyan Chand was the outstanding player of that campaign, top-scoring for India and earning the nickname 'The Wizard' for his extraordinary ball control and goal-scoring.
This victory began India's golden run in Olympic hockey, and Dhyan Chand went on to win further golds in 1932 (Los Angeles) and 1936 (Berlin).
Balbir Singh Sr. was a later hockey great who won golds in 1948, 1952 and 1956, so he was not in the 1928 side; KD Jadhav was a wrestler who won a bronze in 1952; and Sarangapani Raman was not part of that gold-winning team.
Hence the member of the 1928 gold-winning Indian hockey team is Major Dhyan Chand.
