In the T20 format, players often attack every ball, but this can make it hard to handle pressure.

No one should expect to finish the game single-handedly; it requires a team effort.

T20 game in cricket is a matter of patience, perseverance and hard work.
Both sides in game fights tougher than other so as to determine which one will come out on top.
In T20 a batsman's skills are put to test since the number of overs is less and every ball matters.
So, its necessary for batsman to hit quickfire or affirmative shots to put his team to any targeted total.

Secondly, the bowlers have a very limited number of overs unlike ODI, where a bowler can bowl 10 overs at a stretch, so his/her economy in bowling becomes a key factor in T20's. So, T20 is not killing any cricketing skills.
Rather it sets a stage for batsman to test their patience, power and ability to control the game till 20 overs.

Is T20 cricket killing real cricketing skills? Well, that's a topic of much debate. Some say T20 cricket is killing the actual spirit of cricket, as it's more of a money game. The T20 format has led to players focusing more on T20 and retiring from Test matches and ODIs, which could result in the loss of talented players from the Test matches and ODIs. Additionally, T20 cricket is a batsman-oriented format, which could ruin the skills of bowlers.

On the other hand, T20 cricket has made the game more adventurous and exciting, and it has allowed many players to showcase their talent. It has also attracted a younger demographic and has become a melting pot of international talent. The format's success has led to its adoption in international tournaments, including the T20 World Cup, further cementing its place in the cricketing world.

So, is T20 cricket killing real cricketing skills? It's a matter of perspective, but it's clear that T20 cricket has transformed the game and will continue to play a significant role in the future of cricket.

I think there is no real cricketing skills as a cricketer you need to adapt to the conditions and situations you are in and act accordingly. So their t20 skills are also real cricketing skills but emphasise power-hitting with 7 batsmen, a little less on the defence side.

Nowadays power hitting is being introduced in test matches also dominating opponents it depends on beating the opponent's strategy.

T20 cricket has altered the dynamics of the game, emphasizing power-hitting and aggressive bowling. However, it also requires different skill sets, like improvisation and adaptability.

So, while it may be changing the traditional aspects of the game, it's not necessarily killing skill but rather evolving it.

The impact of T20 cricket on traditional cricketing skills is a topic of debate among cricket enthusiasts. Here's a breakdown:

1. Batting Skills: T20 cricket emphasizes aggressive and innovative batting techniques, such as power-hitting and improvised shots. While this can enhance a player's ability to score quickly, it might also lead to a decline in the development of classical batting skills like patience, shot selection, and building an inning.

2. Bowling Skills: In T20 cricket, bowlers often focus on variations and mastering death bowling to contain runs. This may reduce their emphasis on developing traditional skills like swing, seam movement, and spin variations. Fast bowlers, in particular, may prioritize pace over swing or accuracy.

3. Fielding Skills: T20 cricket has elevated fielding standards with an emphasis on athleticism and agility. Players are expected to be agile, quick, and adept at boundary fielding. While this enhances overall fielding standards, it may overshadow the importance of traditional skills like slip-catching and close-in fielding.

4. Mental Toughness: T20 cricket's fast-paced nature demands quick decision-making and adaptability. However, it may not necessarily cultivate the same level of mental toughness required for longer formats where patience and concentration are crucial.

5. Overall Impact: While T20 cricket has undoubtedly transformed the game with its entertainment value and global appeal, concerns persist about its potential to overshadow traditional formats. However, many argue that T20 cricket's innovations can complement rather than undermine traditional skills, as evidenced by players who excel across all formats.

In essence, while T20 cricket may alter the emphasis on certain skills, it's a part of cricket's evolution rather than a wholesale detriment to traditional cricketing abilities. Adaptability and balance between formats are key for players and cricket as a whole to thrive.
