Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?

In my view, T20 cricket has been beneficial to the growth of test cricket. Take the example of two test matches, Eng vs Aus 2019, Headingly, and Aus vs IND 2021, Brisbane. In the former Eng were on the verge of losing the match but it was Ben Stoke's innovative shots which at the end sealed the match for England which was otherwise considered a lost cause by even the English commentators.

In the second case, India was in the midst of injuries, it lacked its most important players like Virat Kohli, Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and the list goes on. But look what the youngsters who hailed from the IPL did. Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur not only played a blinder in the 1st innings to keep India alive in the game, but it was also the fearless batting of Rishab Pant which made India breach the so-called fortress of Australian cricket, the Gabba. Not only did India win the match at a ground on which Aussies hadn't lost a test in 32 years, but they also won the hearts and minds of cricket fans all around the world. This match was regarded as a savior of test cricket, which incidentally involved players who were called "T-20 specialists".

I guess not. T20 cricket is another step in the evolution of cricket. Now we have a format which we can watch in a few hours. Do not have to sit all days. T20 is not much technical as compared to Test or even ODI. But the fitness level needs to be high while playing T20.

The test will always be there because Test is the most beautiful across the formats. As a cricketer, we love watching and playing a Test match. If the test is there, the real cricketing skills will always be there.

According to me,

A T20 match is a better option for those players who are energetic and want to fast match. T20 match is also saves time with fun in comparison of a test match. Most of the people at this time want fun with time limited in this situation t 20 matches is the best option for them. Test match is also fun for those who really want to take more time to watch a cricket match. In T20 match players have to show their talent in a short time. In this situation, they are better prepared for playing cricket.

First of all, thank-you for giving this beautiful platform to put my point on the topic of T20 cricket is killing the real cricket skill.

So, In my opinion, that is not truly right in fact T20 cricket can give better players for the team in a short time like in IPL matches players are selected on the basis of their T20 performance. In T20 cricket.

In cricket, we need some energetic players who can't perform well in the match short period of time. Although audiences are enjoying a lot on their boundaries. The audience can also enjoy in a short time to watch T20 they haven't a seat for a whole day to watch Test cricket matches but mostly people enjoy test matches because they have to see the most skilled players who can play long periods of time and can face all the bowlers easily and played well.

T20 is better than compared to the test match. Because at this time people don't have much time and they want full enjoyment in the match. But the test match always takes a lot of time. But in the T20 matches never takes a lot of time so people always like to watch t20 cricket.

People can see the patience in the player in the test matches.

No, I think t20 increases the popularity of cricket around the world. So for spreading cricket around the world t20 is a much more important format.

I think t20 cricket is an opportunity for youngsters to come and play at least 10-12 balls and score 20-24 runs. And one of my friend mentioned that, nowadays people don't have enough time due to their work and they don't watch full matches like test matches and ODI as well they just want to enjoy more in a very short period of time.

So, lastly, I want to conclude that T20 is not killing Real cricketing but it enhances the quality of the game and make it more enjoyable.

According to me, T20 cricket is not killing the cricketing skills, it is killing the real cricket. Talking about watching the cricket the fans aren't that much bored of watching long format cricket. In fact, recently I was watching The Ashes test between England and Australia, the stadium was full of the crowd cheering and chanting for their teams.
Long-format cricket is the purest form of cricket. We get to see the purest cricketing shots played by the batters as well as when the bowler bowls the new ball the batter feels like hell.
Now talking about T20 cricket, yes it gives chances to the younger players to showcase their skills.

The real cricketing skills can be improved by playing both the T20 and long-term format but the patience of the player is determined by playing the long format cricket.

At last, to see real cricketing skills long-term format should be there and should not be disappeared.

Maybe these thoughts are correct because the T20 format cricket can be hitting but we have to take a look at the odi or test cricket like playing the short like cover drive, square drive and play the proper cricketing short in these formats but in T20 format the players mostly go for hitting to post a good total and defend it easily, but the disadvantage is when we are playing the T20 format and go for hitting and losing the wicket easily to put the lowest score that's not the good thing in T20 format.

So we have to play the T20 format like ODI first we play quickly and steadily in the powerplay and we have to take the match slow and steadily in the slog overs and finally we lookout to play the death overs and the important thing is to note it in the T20 format is death overs we lose the wicket (many) in the death overs and still looking for the highest total. This is the modern cricket T20 format.

So the answer is purely based on my point of view on this topic.

Cricket is nothing but a pure gentlemen's game and also requires class and technique to succeed. If you want to know what cricket is, just be patient for a while and watch test cricket. The reason I am saying to watch test cricket is the real cricket is in test cricket as to play test format, the players need to have patience, stamina, skill, class, and pressure handling. And many more. Test cricket can be boring for many but the real taste of cricket is in test cricket. T20 matches indeed kill the class of cricket as it last much less compared to test and t20 matches roughly take 3 to 4 hours hitting is the main motive in t20 cricket whereas in test cricket, the class and the technique are showcased and its an eye-feast to watch the batsmen play pure cricketing shots like cover drive, straight drive, square cut. Etc and in t20 matches we often see sixes but they can be hit by anyone with strength cricketing shots are tough to apply like Sachin Tendulkar who's known for his classic straight drive which looks amazingly smooth and I think t20 cricket is getting more craze for its short innings and less time taken.
