Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?

Hi friends.

T20 cricket too so many players are coming from another country. For T20 cricket the new cricketers are introduced and talented cricketers are coming to this, and this player do hardworking for world cup.

Yes, l am agreed with this statement that "T20 cricket killing real cricketing skills", Because in T20 cricket players just "do or die" we have many examples of bowlers can hit sixes as compared to batsman which is not a skill just hit every ball either six or out. Any good skilled batsman lost his wicket due to hitting without set on crease. And any good bowler get many runs in his over due to continuing hitting this lead to demotivating bowler.

In T20 you face very less balls and can hit good runs without good skills, and you get out while you have very good skills.

While in Test cricket you have opportunity to face many balls and to show your skills and techniques.

I am agree with "T20 killing real cricket skills" because in T20 cricket players face less number of balls and they play just like do and die, they cannot learn about technical skills of cricket, they just play for win but in real cricket they faces many balls in ODI and TEST cricket and learn more about cricket skills.

Not only the skills but also the abilities to stand for a long hour in like as in test matches and one-day internationals. Otherwise, factors like patience stamina control on emotions can only be tested in ODI or test matches so definitely t20cricket lacking all above qualities as it is a fast cricket so it is killing the natural skills of the player.

Up to some extent but T20 also tells us how to adopt the situation quickly. In test matches, even low order bowlers can make a century by taking time but its difficult for them to score even 20-30 runs in quick succession. It shows how quickly your mind reacts to the situation.

Actually, yes. T20 cricket has changed the definition of technical cricket. Earlier days cricket was known for its technique but nowadays it is known for power skills and unorthodox skills. I agree that innovation is important but not by killing the techniques. Real cricket can be enjoyed only in ODI and test cricket which is becoming rare now. T20 also destroying the talented and skilled players.

T20 cricket is exciting, there is also required special skills for scoring runs and taking a wicket or for being economical as a bowler. But it is the reality that some cricketing skills being killed by t20 on some extent. But not all. The skills like temperament, timing the ball also needed in t20. So, in my opinion, t20 not killed real cricketing skills, it just modifies those as per modern era.

Yes, the technical skills might be affected by t20 but that has given birth to unorthodoxy which is beautiful and glamorous in its own way if implemented correctly!Even a decade ago, a yorker was considered to be an unplayable delivery!I'm not saying its easy to play a yorker but innovative cricket, nowadays, has found a way to score even sixers off yorkers. I believe an ideal cricketer would be one who could possess the right balance of both textbook cricket and unorthodox cricket. What better example than A.B.De Villiers?

I think T20cricket is useful, but at the same time, it is killing some real cricketing skills also. In ancient days, cricketers used to play days together in test format but nowadays as they inculcated to the mode of 20-20 format. So players were not having much courage and patience to stand for the wicket.

There are some other reasons which are beneficial to 20-20 cricket.

1. A Huge amount of entertainment.

2. Nowadays, no one is having to have a view of the full match. So this will be a good format for the people who want to enjoy the match for some time.

T20 cricket is really killing the real cricket skill, as it is quite evident that the sole purpose of this type of limited overs match is entertainment, and it's all about hitting the maximum numbers of sixes and fours. Thus a pinch hitter, who has less cricketing skill, gets successful in this type of matches, In this type of matches the moment a batsmen enters the field, all he thinks about is hitting a six or four, and for the sake of crowd and team he has to play unlike his nature and go for sixes or fours.
