New Delhi: The birth of Twenty20 cricket has helped the gentleman's game adopt a more frenetic pace, albeit with good returns.
This slam-bang version has already become the favoured format — for both players and spectators — leaving behind the traditional Test and One-Day International cricket in popularity charts.
Discarded England batsman Kevin Pietersen predicted that this game of eleven players with bat and ball will become like Formula One.
The 35-year-old on Friday tweeted his prediction, and said "in +- 10yrs, #cricket will be like @F1."

Pietersen himself is one of the mercenaries plying his batting skills around the globe in various franchise-based T20 leagues.
He left the Indian Premier League mid-way after picking up an injury, but is expected to play in the Caribbean Premier League, starting June 21.
