Why Change The Format Of ODI Cricket, Virender Sehwag Over Suggestions For Overhaul Of ODI Cricket
Sri Lanka World Cup: Former India cricketer and newly-inducted ICC Hall of Fame member Virender Sehwag on Tuesday rejected all suggestions of changing the format of the One-day International (ODI) cricket to help it survive the onslaught of T20 and other shorter formats.
While a lot of people have suggested doing away with the ODI format, many others like cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and Ravi Shastri have suggested changing its format so that it would it will continue attracting spectators. Shastri has suggested to reduce the match to 40 overs instead of 50 while Tendulkar wants it to comprise four innings of 25 each. For many weaned on the slam bang Twenty-20 format,, the ODIs have become predictable and too long, which resulted in newer formats like T20 and The Hundred being introduced to keep the fans engaged.
But Sehwag summarily dismissed all such talk with just one question of his own.
