One-day cricket started with 60 overs and was reduced to 50 overs as the Test matches that started a century ago ended in a draw for 5 days. It turned out to be one of the most beloved matches of cricket in the 90s as it was a feast for the fans. In those days hitting even 10 sixes with 2 teammates in a match was something that fans could not see. The T20 tournament, which ends in 3-4 hours without being able to sit for a day, was introduced in 2005.
It has been the favorite series of most fans ever since, with T20 matches ending in just over 3 hours, giving the most unexpected twists and turns per minute over Tests and ODIs in history. That’s because in ODI cricket it is difficult to see 10 sixes in a match, while in T20 cricket the batsmen rain as many as 20 – 30 sixes in a single match.
