Hello Friends.

I would like to tell you about the T20 cricket mainly IPL and ICC's organized matches. That affects the players in playing Tests and Odis also as a T20 style. They are used to playing fastest cricket event and it affects in different ways.

Firstly it is decreasing the interest of Odis even the public feel bore now watching ODI's which had the greater impact earlier. That interest is slowing down i.e. They want the entertainment in ODI's like in T20 cricket. But what really matters is that Real entertainment of ODI's is loosing day by day.

And even the players are affecting their ability of tolerance, calmness as well as range of shots. And as a result losing their techniques. I must say players looses their capability and techniques and play different types of ugly shots that affects his real talent, Mostly it happens.

As we know the Real cricket is Test cricket and we can not watch it until and unless Great temperament, calmness, talent is not present. The bowlers are affected due to field restrictions as well as by shorter boundaries, it makes them feel low.

Whereas in Odis and Test a player has a time to comeback strongly and show his talent. Due to IPL even the talented players due to the guarantee of money even not try to play up to his talent and even decreasing it. So T20 cricket is really Killing Cricketing Skills.

Thank You.

As per my point of view, the T20 is the best platform to promote not only the cricket at the intentional standards but only it gives at least a change to hidden players to shows their capability in the span of time.

It is also bless for those players who are waiting for a long to get at-least a change to play and show their talent at the national as well as international standards. You can ask for them what is the actual meaning of this change.

If we will take a game as for opportunity for all mankind to show some talent, so No game kills real talent of someone else. Which will be adopted as ocean of opportunities.

No game big or small, our mind set make it lots of issues for that. The game required discipline, team spirit etc. If it would be their it will be emerge as the best game ever.

For example:- KABADI. Now days, which is promoting the players.

Hello Everyone,

I Think T20 Cricket Killing Real Cricketing Skills Now a days playing more T-20 Cricket than test Cricket, Cricketer Loses their technique due to play lots of T20 Cricket. According to Report of cricket journalist from 2010 to 2014 test cricket 10% of test cricket match ended in 3 days 25% cricket match ended in 4 days and only few matches is been drawn.

So according my view T20 cricket badly affecting the Real Test Cricket.

Basic purpose of a sport is to entertain people. So IPL has fulfilled it's part of entertaining people. But the cash rich nature of the tournament makes it mired with controversies regarding spot fixing.

So, I think that, if IPL is conducted with greater scrutiny it will be a win-win situation for both cricket lovers and new talents, who get recognised due to IPL.

All said it also takes a great deal of talent & composure in hitting sixes and fours within limited overs.

From my point of view, T-20 affects the real cricket game because they want to hit six on each ball. They don't use the real way to face the different types of ball and also the good bowlers have very less spell.

Actually T20 don't kill the skills of cricketers, It provides them some additional skills such as maintaining the run rate, not choking under pressure and to hit sixes and fours in every ball you must have skill.

Good afternoon to everyone.

Myself Navneet. Its a great pleasure to me that we are here to discuss the topic "is T20 affect the real cricket skill". I think T20 really affected the real cricket.

Because in T20 THE GAME IS ONLY OF 20 OVERS so players wants to six and four on every ball and in this format it does not matter that how batsman make a run.

It doesn't matter whether batsman has classical skill or not.

In other formats like test cricket the batsman who has better classical skill perform better.

Hi everyone, as it stands in India Cricket is taken as only entertainment. T20 is the form of cricket that provide entertainment but it cannot bring in talent for India. If we see players 10 to 15 years back we will find that they used to play county crickets but now IPL is the only place where young players play before they play for India. T20 is just a 20 over game and anything can happen in 20 overs. To play test cricket talent and skill is needed and above that patient is needed. Indian players are in a hurry even when they play test and that is the main reason that they are not able to bat even for 90 overs. If this continues Indian cricket might have to suffer a lot.

Hello friends,

Since in T20 things change very quickly, it forces players to not to become complacent in good situations which is the most important skill in cricket. Also, it requires high agility and fitness and so many young players are improving their fitness. Virat, De Villiers, Dhoni have some extraordinary skills.

But the sad part is, it is a bit in the favour of batsmen so bowlers are now trying to be economical than attacking. But mature bowlers are developing new skills to tackle both problems examples are Malinga, Steyn, Broad.

I think T20 is the best chance to show their talent for new players. There is no effect of T20 and ODI cricket. We see a real cricket in T20 matches. Cricket lovers are enjoy to see T20 matches in this busy life. This is a good platform for young players and also for failure cricketers. The players has a opportunity to show all their skills. I am not criticize other formats. Finally I am telling is each game has it own speciality. The players are trying to show all their skills in all formats. A real professional cricketer dedicate all his life to the game whatever the format is like SACHIN TENDULKAR and M.S.DHONI.
