Cricket is the sport that is being played in three different formats in international cricket namely Tests, One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. In those days, cricket was played in Test and ODI formats. However, after the game evolved, T20 cricket started to gain the attention of the cricket fraternity.
