Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of cricket to the Olympics, with its inclusion in the 2028 Games in Los Angeles generating immense excitement. Cricket's Olympic history dates back to 1900, but it has been absent ever since. The sport’s comeback is expected to fuel hopes of a Gold Medal for cricket-enthused nations.
For India, a strong team is emerging, with Shubman Gill tipped to captain, opening alongside the dynamic Yashasvi Jaiswal. Ruturaj Gaikwad, an experienced player, will bat at number 3, while Nitish Kumar Reddy, known for his all-round capabilities, is likely to fulfill a role similar to Hardik Pandya’s. Rishabh Pant will serve as the wicketkeeper, bringing valuable experience. The finishing role is set for Rinku Singh, who will ideally bat at number 6, rounding out a formidable lineup.
