Four Innings Fixtures

The legendary Sachin Tendulkar once suggested to the ICC to transform the 50-over ODI matches into 25-overs matches, but with 4 innings, unlike the traditional practice. A similar concept could be applied in the IPL.

In my point of view, four innings of 10 overs each and two innings for each team would make the popular league more enthusiastic. Moreover, the change seems reasonable as it makes the slightly unfair game of cricket fairer, by allowing both the teams to access the conditions equally. We have seen the dew-factor affecting the outcome of the matches in several instances, which provides a huge advantage to one side. This new concept won't change the pitch conditions, but will blunt the huge advantage gained by one team.

Similarly, T20 leagues are fun because of all those raining big hits, boundaries and flooding runs. The new concept provides both the teams an opportunity to bat for 20 overs, 10 overs in each innings with a total of 20 wickets in hand collectively.

The implementation of this ideology would wipe out any faint chances of other T20 leagues coming close to IPL in terms of enthusiasm, uniqueness and quality.
