WE ARE CHAMPIONS : 40 Iconic Moments in Indian Sports - 1 - Haryana Penguin Books 2025 - 278

Biographies of India’s Legendary Athletes.

‘We needed such a book to document some of our greatest sporting moments’—Kapil Dev

From India’s first Olympic hockey gold in 1948 to Kapil Dev’s World Cup triumph in 1983, from Mary Kom’s world titles to Neeraj Chopra’s javelin glory, this book brings to life the victories that put India on the global sporting map.

Celebrate the athletes who changed the game—icons like Sunil Gavaskar, Mithali Raj and Pankaj Advani, as
well as barrier-breakers like Avani Lekhara and Sumit Antil. Their courage, sacrifice and will to win lit the path for today’s generation of sporting stars.

Packed with inspiring stories, dramatic comebacks and edge-of-the-seat finishes, We Are the Champions
is more than a collection of great victories—it is the story of how India learned to dream big and turn
those dreams into glorious reality!
