Cricket has come a long way from just Test cricket. In 1971, a new format, ODI, was introduced to shorten the length of five-day cricket to garner the interest of more fans. 50 years after the first ODI, there are at least three more formats currently being played, which include T20, T10, and the latest format, ‘The Hundred.’
