The decision to include T20I cricket was finalised at the 141st IOC Session.
IOC member Nita Ambani was part of the session in Mumbai.
BCCI played a key role in securing cricket’s participation in Olympics.
Secretary Jay Shah was actively involved in the process.
The decision got a thumbs-up from Indian legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Jhulan Goswami.
