The truncated version of the game has seen a drastic change in the mindset and approach of the players. The T20 cricket that is being played now is not the same as before as the dynamics of the game have changed completely. Batters tend to take the bowlers to the cleaners by playing fearlessly.

At the same time, the bowlers have been doing their maximum best to outsmart the batters by bowling tricky deliveries. So, every now and then, the cricket fraternity gets to witness drama and exciting moments during the passage of play. This is why it is the most compelling and engaging format of the modern era.
