Virat Kohli, who retired from T20I cricket after India’s T20 World Cup 2024 victory, has hinted that he might consider a comeback under one condition. Speaking at the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit on March 15, Kohli opened up about his future and the possibility of playing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Virat Kohli’s Thoughts on Retirement

The senior batter admitted that he has no concrete plans after retiring from cricket but might travel more.

“I actually don’t know what I will be doing post-retirement. Recently, I asked a teammate the same question and got the same reply. Yeah, but there may be a lot of travelling,” Kohli said at the event.

Kohli was being interviewed by former cricketer Isa Guha, who asked him if he would consider playing in the LA Olympics. Cricket will return to the Olympics in 2028 for the first time in over a century, and the T20 format will be used.

Kohli’s Response on Playing in the Olympics

When asked if he could be coaxed out of retirement, Kohli jokingly said that he might return only if India were playing in the gold medal match.

“For the Olympics? Maybe? If we are playing for the gold medal, I may come back for one game (laughs). Get a medal and come back home. It is a great thing. To be an Olympic champion would be a magnificent feeling, the first of its kind,” Kohli said.

Virat Kohli on Cricket’s Inclusion in the Olympics

Kohli also spoke about how cricket’s growth, especially through T20 leagues like the IPL, has helped the game reach the Olympics.

“So many T20 leagues are played all over the world, and I think IPL has definitely played a massive role in that as well. It has brought cricket to a stage where it is part of the Olympics. It’s a great opportunity for some of our guys,” he said.

While Kohli has not made any official statement about a comeback, his words have excited fans, who would love to see him in action at the Olympics.
