Cricket will be introduced as a competitive sport in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. This will be the first time in 128 years that cricket will be included in the Olympic Games. Men`s and women`s T20 cricket tournaments will be held, with six teams each.
When it comes to cricket, Team India stalwarts Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar have been the global faces of the sport.
Both have played crucial roles in the promotion of the sport. One of the top records in cricket is in Sachin Tendulkar`s name. The veteran holds the record of most centuries, i.e. 100 centuries across all three formats of the game (Test + ODI + T20Is).
On the other hand, Kohli holds the record for the most number of centuries in the 50-over format. So far, representing India in 302 ODI matches, the right-hander has smashed 51 tons. Previously, Kohli announced his retirement from the longest format of the game. Before that, the 36-year-old drew curtains on his T20I career, following Team India`s T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. The veteran will now only continue to represent India in ODIs.
