Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?

In my opinion, T20 does not harm cricketing skills in any means. In the other hand it increases or helps the player to improve their skills.

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.

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.

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.

According to me, T20 cricket is very good as compare other formats because it hives freedom to all cricketers to show their ability and talents in short durations in front of all the world.

I think T-20 provides a good platform to new comers to start their career. It gives them a good chance to play with experienced senior players and to learn a lot and at the same time to earn money and fame for the country which is a good thing. Balance between the two is necessary as test match judges physical strength while T-20 judges the mental skills of players.

People were losing interest in cricket, and this the T20 which has restored its earlier dignity. Test format should be replaced by ODIs, hence, there should be only 2 formats, as for my future growth prediction of Cricket.

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.

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.

T20 cricket most popular fun in comparison to 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 matches is also fun for those who 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.
