Former India opener Gautam Gambhir and Australia pacer Brett Lee have shared their opinion on the idea of splitting T20 cricket into four innings. The duo is completely against the idea and reason why the format should continue the same way to has been going on.

Earlier, Former India batsman Sachin Tendulkar earlier suggested reviving ODI cricket by splitting each innings in two. However, Brett Lee who has featured in 25 T20Is for Australia national team and played 38 IPL matches feels there is no need for such alteration in the  T20 cricket.

Speaking on the Cricket Connected Show, Brett Lee said, “I am all for T20 cricket whether it’s the Indian Premier League or the Big Bash to have some flair about it, some excitement to bring people to the game. But there are some things you want to keep traditional when it comes to cricket and I think having 4 innings is a bit too much. I still think it’s always nice to see a target, and try and chase that target down or defend it.”

Gautam Gambhir is an experienced T20 campaigner leading Kolkata Knight Riders to 2 IPL titles in 2012 and 2014. He feels splitting T-20 cricket will take away toss’s impact.

Gambhir said, “I’m not a big believer that we should split T20 cricket into two innings. I think, Sachin Tendulkar somewhere gave a suggestion that we could try doing it with 50 overs which makes a lot of sense because you’ve got 25 overs. It also probably takes the toss away as well because in some conditions the toss plays a huge role and I was absolutely favor of that as well. But not in T20 cricket, it’s too short a format and there’s hardly any time. Splitting that into 10 overs each will be too short an inning.”
