Coach Gambhir selected 15 lions for Olympics 2028, Rohit-Virat out, this new army will bring gold
Olympics 2028: For the first time in Indian cricket history, the dream of participation in the Olympics is now going to be a reality. Cricket has been officially included in the Olympics 2028 (Olympics 2028) to be held in Los Angeles and with this a new start for Team India has also been prepared.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), led by coach Gautam Gambhir, has prepared a list of 15 potential players, giving many young stars a chance, while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been excluded from the scheme.
Rohit- Kohli out
Let me tell you, 20 overs cricket can be played in the Olympics. But after winning the title of ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced his retirement from this format. In such a situation, these two players will not be part of Olympics 2028.
Also, speculations are being made that now BCCI and coaching staff are looking towards the future. In such a situation, it is believed that in the absence of Rohit and Kohli, the new generation will now take the responsibility of giving Olympic gold to India.
Young players will get a chance
Since becoming the coach, Gautam Gambhir had made it clear that he would adopt a different view for each format. Giving young players a chance, preparing for future and selecting on fitness is their basic mantra.
Gambhir believes that India has no shortage of young talent and if he is given a platform at the right time, then they can create history. In such a situation, in Olympics 2028 (Olympics 2028), serious young players will also give more opportunity
India will be eyeing winning gold
India has not tasted the Olympics in cricket so far as this game was not part of the first Olympics. Now that the opportunity is received, the Indian team’s eyes are not just on the participation (Olympics 2028), but it is based on winning the gold medal directly. Coach Gambhir’s youth army, fast bowling attack and batsmen’s aggressive style can make this dream come true.
