VARIOUS FORMS OF CRICKET

Cricket is a game played by two teams each having eleven players on their side. It is played in different forms throughout the globe.

Test cricket is the oldest and the most primitive form of the game and is successful in its survival even after a century it has been invented. It includes a hectic 5-day game or a 6-day game in the past. Test cricket is all about surviving without getting out and in the mean time to score some runs. ODI is the modern form of cricket, which includes a play of 50 overs for each side. The first ODI had been played in the starting of the 70s. However, it overtook the fame held by the test cricket in a very short span of time and conquered the number one spot. It is because of its urgency nature.
