India national cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir has demanded a contract extension from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The former left-handed batter also said that he would love to coach the India national cricket team at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in the summer of 2028.
The BCCI appointed him as head coach until the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. However, cricket will return to the Olympic Games six months after the World Cup. Notably, the next edition of the T20 World Cup will also be played in 2028, when India will be the defending champions.
Speaking to RevSportz about his future plans, Gautam Gambhir expressed excitement about the Los Angeles Olympic Games. He said coaching at the Olympics would be a rare and huge honor for any sporting professional.
"I would love to be part of the Olympics. It’s a huge honour. Very few get the honour to represent India at the Olympics," Gambhir said.
Cricket will be played in the fast-paced T20 format at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Both men’s and women’s teams will represent their countries in the prestigious event. After their recent victories, the India national cricket team will enter the tournament as one of the favorites.
