Debunking the ‘ODI batting is easy’ theory: It needs the patience of Tests and innovation of T20s

Debunking the ‘ODI batting is easy’ theory: It needs the patience of Tests and innovation of T20s

Published by Parlour News

Sanjay Manjrekar’s line that ODI batting is “easy” sounds spicy, but it leans on an outdated picture of 50-over cricket. Modern ODIs are not a diluted Test; they’re a format with built-in pressures where batting success depends on repeated recalibration rather than one steady method. Virat Kohli and Sanjay Manjrekar. (PTI/FILE) Manjrekar’s core-point is that top-order batters find ODIs the most comfortable format because conditions and incentives favour run-making. That framing skips what ODIs uniquely demand: three different innings modes, ball-behaviour shifts, and scoreboard pressure that punishes even the smallest of misreads. ODIs force more phase adjustments than any other format In an uninterrupted ODI innings, fielding restrictions are split into three blocks: overs 1-10 (maximum 2 fielders outside the circle), overs 11-40 (maximum four), and overs 41-50 (maximum five). That hard-wires gear changes into the innings. The powerplay rewards boundary access, but the cost of an early wicket is huge because it changes how safely you can cash in later. The middle 30 overs are the ODI control room: captains protect boundaries with pre-planned …

Shefali Shah and Huma S Qureshi recently went head-to-head in the latest instalment of the International Emmy-winning Netflix series Delhi Crime. The show’s new season leans into a tense cat-and-mouse chase between a female cop and a female human trafficker, a narrative energy that mainstream cinema hasn’t always embraced. When the two actors came together at the 10th edition of Expresso, they addressed a larger, urgent question: Is OTT truly taking creative risks, or is it slowly drifting back toward convention? Huma believes streamers are still championing stories that would otherwise struggle to find space. She said, “Whether it’s Netflix or any of the other platforms, they’re slowly rejecting this conventional wisdom that the theatrical business is only led by men, and therefore only films with male-centric subjects will get greenlit. However, today the OTT space has shown time and again that there is a ready audience, a captive audience, and it consists of both women and men. I don’t think shows like Delhi Crime or Maharani are only seen by women; they’re watched and …
