Is T20 Cricket killing Real Cricketing Skills?

Hello everybody.

According to me, yes, T20 cricket is killing some sort of skills in a certain way.

For example; test cricket is the real test of a cricket player. In the t20 cricket format, the player's mindset is he has to hit more boundaries and more runs, so he uses his physical strength more. He has to swing the bat with force like on every 2-3 balls. If it connects well then he gets runs but if not then he may out.

But in test cricket, a player is checked by his temperament. He has to bat in uneven conditions. He needs to learn when he has to show aggression and when he has to calm himself. Test cricket also teaches life lessons like one should have to try and try to get successful (from a bowler's point of view, to get wicket he has to hit lengths and the right areas regularly). Same from other end one should have to defend and stay calm in certain situations.

But in today's generation, people have not enough time. Today's generation does have not much time to watch 2-3 hours of videos or movies so they tend more towards reels and short videos. In the same sense, people have no time to watch 5 day long test match so they are more attracted to t20 cricket. Test Match is like that very good movie and t20 is like short videos and reels that sometimes do not make sense but entertaining.

Have a good day.

Hello, everyone!

T20 cricket is one of the formats of cricket that provides a platform for numerous young players to showcase their talent.

It is a reality that many cricket leagues are organized by countries, such as the IPL (Indian Premier League) and BBL (Big Bash League).

These leagues not only give opportunities to emerging players but also contribute significantly to the global popularity of the sport. T20 cricket is known for its fast-paced and entertaining nature, making it a favorite among fans worldwide. The success of these leagues has not only strengthened the foundation of T20 cricket but has also played a crucial role in shaping the future of the sport by nurturing young talents and providing them with the exposure they need to excel on the international stage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
