The emerge of t20 doesn't kill any kind of cricketing skills for me. It's just improving the skills like taking fast decisions and taking an efficient risk during pressure situations and it does not effect test cricket. Nowadays test cricket also very interesting to watch because most of the match finished with a result and it is also finishing with some nail biting match like t20. So it depends on upon the player's mindset only. So it is not right to blame t20. It is the just improvement of cricket to next level.

Nope. According to me, t20 cricket is bringing a new interest in the cricketing world. Nowadays, people don't get much time watching test cricket due to studies, work and jobs.

But at the same time, I must say test cricket should also be pushed by innovating in it like day-night test matches.

A t20 takes around three and a half hours to complete so that allows foreign countries to get indulge with cricket.

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.

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 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.
