The new format of cricket, T20 cricket, has changed a lot in today’s times. In modern day cricket, there is no longer an equal competition between the ball and the bat, but now the batsmen are liking this format more.

In today’s T20 cricket, batsmen are seen batting at a stormy pace. Batsmen have changed the current scenario of the game. Every day some batsman is seen playing new shots. So there was a time when a score of 200 runs was considered the winning total in T20 cricket, but now even a score of 250 runs has started falling short to win the match.

So in the ongoing IPL, new records are being made in terms of runs every other day. Also, this season Sunrisers Hyderabad has created history by scoring 287 runs in an innings. Looking at this score, it seems that the day is not far when the score of 300 runs will be seen in T20 cricket.

On the other hand, now in the ongoing IPL season, Delhi Capitals team head coach and former Australian cricket team captain Ricky Ponting has given a big statement regarding the continuous changes in T20 cricket.

Ricky Ponting gave a big statement regarding the changes taking place in T20 cricket.

Let us tell you that while talking about the changes in T20 cricket, in a discussion with ESPN Cricinfo, Ricky Ponting said – I did not think that a score of 300 would ever be possible, but it looks like it is going to happen now.

It’s not like that anymore in T20 cricket where you go in and take a few balls to get set. Now when a player comes to bat, he starts hitting from the first ball.

Ricky Ponting further said – Matthew Hayden has been telling me that friend, I am telling you that this is the future of T20 cricket, but I still keep telling him that no, it is not so.
