The inaugural ICC World Twenty20 Championship is being played in South Africa. This newest version of the game has generated a lot of interest among the fans. As India get ready to play their first match of the tournament, CricketNext.com's Editor Rajshekhar Rao chats to viewers about the tournament and India's chances in it.
Somasekhar: Will Twenty20 cricket overshade the One-Day cricket?
C. Rajshekhar Rao: I think Twenty20 will surely make a place for itself and very soon. Yes, there is every chance that it will overshadow ODI cricket, but that may still be some time away. Am sure guys who like ODI cricket will like this offering too. For the traditionalists, Test cricket lives on.
Pupun: Which country will win 20-20 World Cup?
C. Rajshekhar Rao: Pupun, this game can be anybody's because a single performance can turn things around. That is where the delight is.
Ganesh: Who do you think would be in the team: Ramesh Powar (due to his tight spells in England) or the rejuvenated Harbhajan Singh?
C. Rajshekhar Rao: Powar is not part of the squad Ganesh. The spinning options are Yusuf Pathan, who bowls off spin and is also a left-handed batsman, and Piyush Chawla, apart from the 'turbanator'.
Kirupa: Do you think 20-20 will attract non-cricket playing nations?
C. Rajshekhar Rao: Surely. Not everyone is prepared to follow a game for a full day, forget five days. T20 is a good option for them.
Nishim T.D: Going into an Innagural World Cup without 3 pillar's of Indian cricket ( Tendulkar, Ganguly & Dravid ), are we saying that they are out of age for this new format of game. They have made an excellent impression in the recently concluded ODI series in England. They should have been in the team. Do you justify Board's decision?
C. Rajshekhar Rao: It was not the Board's decision but their own decision. In fact, I think they should be concentrating on just one form of the game.
Ashu: Is the Indian team for this Twenty20 World Championship a well-balanced side?
C. Rajshekhar Rao: Ashu, I think it is a balanced team. One has to wait and watch how the players respond to the challenges.
