Cricket has gained unparalleled popularity in the 21st century, especially the shorter format of the game which has reached heights and has been able to attract fans throughout the world.
In fact, the cricket fraternity has expanded with the rise of T20 cricket which had led to attracting fans in countries with very little exposure to the game. Countries like Afghanistan, Ireland, Oman and various associate nations have excelled in the past decade.
Another change that had affected the game in the past ten years is the dominance of batsmen over the bowlers.
And then comes the rise of the shortest format of the game, T20. The T20 gives batsmen the license to go all guns blazing from the very first delivery they face. This mindset of a batsman has also affected the ODI format, as they go after the bowlers from the word go.
