This is not the first time that CM Channi was spotted playing outdoor sports. Last year, he was seen at a stadium in Mohali trying his hands at hockey as he put on the goalkeeper’s kit and stopped fast-paced balls coming his way.

“Channi sahab stopped the balls with ease,” former Indian hockey goal-keeper Baljit Singh Dadhwal said and added that though the chief minister is 58 years old, his reflexes are still very good. Channi, had who made a surprise visit to the international hockey stadium in Mohali, spent about an hour on the field and also met players.
