Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Eye Olympic Glory as Cricket Returns to Games in 2028

Indian cricket legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have bid farewell to international T20 cricket, but their journey is far from over. The duo, along with head coach Rahul Dravid, recently met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where a surprising revelation emerged.

Dravid hinted that Kohli and Sharma could represent India in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where cricket will make its much-anticipated return after a 128-year absence. The shortest format of the game will be featured in the Olympics.

Kohli's reaction to Dravid's suggestion was priceless, as he couldn't help but laugh. However, Dravid remained confident, stating, "I am confident that the BCCI and the players and the coaches at that time will be prepared. I am confident that from this team, a lot of people will be part of the team."

Dravid emphasized the significance of winning an Olympic gold medal, saying, "Winning a gold in the Olympics is a great matter of pride and happiness. We need to fully prepare for that."

Kohli and Sharma, who will continue playing T20 cricket in the Indian Premier League, have shifted their focus to ODI and Test cricket on the international stage. However, the prospect of representing India in the Olympics has undoubtedly sparked their interest.

The return of cricket to the Olympics is a major development for the sport, and it will provide a unique opportunity for cricketers to showcase their skills on a global stage. Kohli and Sharma, with their immense experience and talent, could play a pivotal role in India's quest for Olympic glory.
