Cricket will be introduced in the next Olympics. For every nation, it will be a big honour to be a part of the games. Also, for a Team like India, winning the Gold will be of great importance. There are still four years for the event. It needs to be seen which player would be in the picture to lead Team India then. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players who could captain India in the 2028 Olympics.
1) Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill has already been identified as the future captain of Team India. Already, he has got the vice-captaincy duties in the ODI and the T20I formats. With four years to go, he will also get the experience needed to lead India in the event.
That said, Gill is yet to be tested as a captain. As a player, too, in the T20 format, he is yet to do well. Hence, there is a long way to go.
2) Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant has just returned to mainstream cricket. The management will not add captaincy responsibilities for the moment on him.
However, he shall surely be a contender in the coming years. He is still young and already has quite a bit of experience leading in the IPL. He just needs to be consistent and he could lead Team India at the Olympics.
3) Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the players who could captain India in the 2028 Olympics. Arguably the greatest bowler that Team India has produced, Bumrah is already a legend. He is still near his thirties and surely, he will be a part of the game for at least the next 6 to 7 years.
Bumrah is a popular name and is one of the poster boys of the game. If he gains some experience as a skipper, he surely can be an option to lead Team India.
