1947 East African Tour
In the 1947 East African tour, a young Indian team was accompanied by Dhyan Chand as the captain (the invitation said no Dhyan Chand, no tour).

On the tour, Babu top-scored with 70 goals, Dhyan Chand, 42 and semi-retired, was second with 61 goals in 22 games, and Pat Jansen came in 3rd with 56 goals.

In one match, Dhyan Chand put a wondorous through ball to K. D. Singh 'Babu', then turned his back and walked away. When Babu later asked the reason for this odd behaviour, he was told, "If you could not get a goal from that, you did not deserve to be on my team.

The squad for the East African tour in 1947 contained many players who would represent India a year later in the London Olympics.

In the team photograph shown below, Pat Jansen is seated on the extreme right.
