  The recently emerging superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates, with
isostructure and isoelectron of cuprates, provides a new platform to explore
the pairing mechanism of high-temperature superconductors. In this work, we
studied the upper critical field ($H_{\rm{c2}}$) of a high-quality
La$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$NiO$_{2}$ thin film with superconducting transition
temperature, $T_{\rm{c}}$ = 18.8 K, using high magnetic field up to 56 T. A
very large $H_{\rm{c2}}$, $\sim$ 40 T for $H$ $\Arrowvert$ $c$ and $\sim$ 52 T
for $H$ $\Arrowvert$ $ab$, was confirmed, which suggests that infinite-layer
nickelates also have great application potential. The anisotropy of
$H_{\rm{c2}}$ monotonically decreases from $\sim$ 10 near $T_{\rm{c}}$ to
$\sim$ 1.5 at 2 K. Angle dependence of $H_{\rm{c2}}$ confirms the crossover of
superconductivity from two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D) as the
temperature decreases. We discussed that the interstitial orbital effect causes
the weakening of anisotropy. The observed abnormal upturning of $H_{\rm{c2}}$
at low temperatures is found to be a universal behavior independent of film
quality and rare earth elements. Therefore, it should not be the
Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state due to the fact that it is in the
dirty limit and insensitive to disorder.
