Just hours after making history in Ahmedabad, captain Suryakumar Yadav has already set his sights on a new horizon: the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Following India’s dominant 96-run victory over New Zealand on March 8, 2026—which saw them become the first-ever team to defend the T20 World Cup title—SKY made it clear that the hunt for medals is officially on. With cricket returning to the Olympic stage after 128 years, the skipper is determined to lead the Men in Blue to a historic gold, cementing this era as the most successful in the nation’s cricketing history.
The victory in the 2026 T20 World Cup final wasn’t just another win; it was India’s third T20 crown, proving their absolute “Tyneside-like” dominance in the shortest format. While the celebrations at the Narendra Modi Stadium were legendary, Surya is already looking at the 2028 calendar, which features both the Olympics and another T20 World Cup. He highlighted that the “fearless brand” of cricket India has played since 2024 is the secret sauce they’ll take to LA. It’s an ambitious goal, but given their current form, who would bet against them?
