Hello friends I'm Aditya Sharma I think it might kill the real cricketing skills of the players. Because the game is played only for 20 overs and every single player which comes across have to bat instantaneously at every single ball because of this they try to play so fast that they doesn't even know how to deal with the ball coming across him and that's the reason wickets go in an immediate process.

The game should be handled with patience and because every player is at its best so he should be in his senses to deal with every single ball sagely.

In my point of view, the scheme of BCCI organizing IPL game is really degrading the real cricketing skill but here is a opportunity for a player that he can show that how fast he can play. In IPL game every player have to face very few balls, In this condition they can show their honour and stormy batting.

But it also have some adverse effect on cricketer and other national game. Because of increasing popularity of cricket the stardom of many other game has lowered.

According to my point of view IPL is fix match only and all players are paid money and the team is also fix who will win. I first they play so good then after the real game starts Ipl is Indian profit league many many top businessman teams are there in IPL eg. Mukesh ambani, shillpa shetty, SRK, they invest their money for the profit only.

I don't like T20 matches because the real power of the player is tested in the test player only if he scores runs 45 to 70 in 20 to 30 balls he is consider as an good player and the people who is poor but they have an extraordinary skill in cricket but they can't afford cricket equipment and coaching classes so government should support them.

No I am completely against the fact that T20 cricket is killing real cricketing skills because if take the example of IPL, it provides the platform for so many young cricketers that were living in dark before that, and somehow they after this tournament the get selected for international T20 and one day squad and there they perform well.

So just because of tournament like this they get the exposure of playing with so international cricketers and get coaching form world class players and under the shadow of those experienced cricketers they play well and perform well in international circuit also.

I don't think that T20 is ruining cricket. You can yourself see that this format has given the batsman a huge level of confidence to chase down big totals. You since the inception of this format a lot many teams have chased down totals in excess of 300 very easily which was not so earlier. Earlier 300 was considered a winning total but today the scenario has changed. It has provided the crowd a lot of entertainment.

But as said every coin has two sides. This format for sure has effected the popularity of the other formats especially test cricket due to the availability of quick result in the latter format. As we all know every thing with an advantage has some disadvantage!

Yes, surely IPL have impacted adversely to traditional cricket.

Some actions need to be taken to save our valuable players from excessive playing and in the end drain down their energy in IPL.

First of all, BCCI should impose rules for different categorize players to play IPL matches. BCCI contracts players in different categories like A, B and C. A group players are paid highest whereas C group players are paid lowest. Here BCCI should impose ban on players of A group to play not more than 50% matches, B group should play 65% and C group player can play 80% matches. Means if a particular team is having 14 matches to play, they can not allow A category player to play more than 7 matches. B group player can play not more than 9 matches and C group player can play 11 matches.

Am agree with you my friends as all we know that IPL T20 is a format where players come from different nations some of them have vast experience and some are youngsters but they play together so it is clear that there is a lot of to learn for the youngsters.

No I am also completely against this. T20 is the cricket skill where there is so many young cricketers who do not have chance to play in international cricket as well as in test matches. There the young cricketers get chance to prove themselves. And also with this IPL we enjoying alot. So it does not kill any other.

No I'm not agree, instead I think T-20 cricket format is helping to improve the standard or quality of cricket by making it more interesting and more enthusiastic game. As, the cricketers either bowler or batsman have very limited time to perform so they try to play more efficiently to make more runs or take more wickets into that limited time and this had become possible by their improved cricket skill. In same time time it providing more entertainment to audience in less time.

In my opinion T20 is not killing cricket because player s are getting platform, money and grooming chance with senior players. It is also increasing popularity of the game. Through t 20 the game can be penetrated in Europe and america.

However excess play of T20 ll definitely harm other format like one day and test matches. Thus a judicious mix of all the form of cricket is needed for healthy development of cricketing skill and cricket as a game.
