Rajusk:
Narinder Batra, president of Hockey India, told News18 Sports. "The fear that he may need a liver transplant is not as grave now, I think," he added. "I have assured them of a completely free-of-cost treatment at the Batra Hospital, if they wish to transfer Shahid there. Otherwise also, we are there to support the family in whatever is required," he said Thanks FIH. |

Hockey was yet to be inundated by cricket and national television was fair in apportioning airtime to both. It was a striking team in terms of appearance. There were the avuncular Iqbal and Vineet Kumar, the boyish Thoiba Singh from Manipur; there was the urban sophistication of MM Somaya and Merwyn Fernandes and the hulking presence of Mohinder Pal Singh and Joaquim Carvalho for all those who can recollect some of the memories.. |

Mohammed Shahid's case is more serious. He was moved to a Gurgaon hospital from his hometown of Varanasi with severe stomach pain. Doctors in Sir Sunder Lal Hospital in Banaras Hindu University were unable to treat Shahid and after his condition deteriorated, he was moved to Gurgaon. He has been diagnosed with a chronic liver disease. To the younger generation, Mohammed Shahid was synonymous with magic on grass. He helped India win the Moscow Olympics gold in 1980 and his amazing control over the ball and speed made him a household name in the Eighties. Just like Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammed Shahid's combination with Zafar Iqbal was one of the most defining episodes of India's great run in the 1982 and 1986 Asian Games where India won silver and bronze, respectively. |
