T10 Cricket League: 5 reasons why T10 is here to stay

#2 Shorter the format, better the entertainment

The Sharjah crowd vindicated that T10 League isn't a one-off event

The attendance at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium proved us one simple fact - no matter what the format is, people want to see sixes and fours flying all around the park. The 15,200 seated stadium was completely occupied on the inaugural day and the final day of the 4-day event. Even, the maiden T20 event hadn't harvested this much attention. T10 has had a grand entry into cricket scheme of things.

The 90-minute format is appropriate for weekday games. It will not extend beyond mid-night like T20 games and the fans can go home early. This event has opened up new ideas like a weekday T10 league, a 20-team EPL type events, etc.

If we project this excitement to the Indian market, the output looks far more interesting. What if TNPL, KPL and to-be-formed Mumbai Premier League become a T10 League instead of a T20 league?
