The date of June 29, 2024 will remain immortal forever in the history of Indian cricket. On the same day, Team India defeated South Africa by 7 runs in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Indian players and fans were immersed in the celebration of this historic victory, when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma said goodbye to the T20 format. But there is a lot of talk about a tournament to be held in 2028 and Virat himself dreams of playing in it.
Actually, we are talking about Olympics here. Cricket is going to make a comeback in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. It will be after 128 years that cricket will return to the Olympics. The game of cricket was last played in the 1900 Paris Olympics, but after that it was shown the way out.
Virat will take back T20 retirement!
Cricket is to be played in T20 format in the Olympics, but Virat Kohli has already taken retirement from this format in 2024. Niccolo Campriani, sports director of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics Committee, had said that one of the main reasons for cricket’s inclusion in the Olympics is the popularity of Virat Kohli. So does this mean that Virat is also going to participate in the Olympic Games?
Some time ago, Virat Kohli was asked about playing in the Olympics. In response to this, Virat said that playing in the Olympics and representing his country will be a very special experience. However, he did not confirm whether he would return from retirement or not.
