I think the time has come to reduce it to 40 overs. Change is necessary with time. ODI cricket has become boring: Dinesh Karthik Dinesh Karthik took Ravi Shastri’s point a step further. He said that people want to see Test cricket which is the best format of cricket. People watch T20 for entertainment but the 50 over game has started getting boring. People don’t want to sit and watch it for 7 hours. That’s why Karthik is feeling that maybe the World Cup to be held in India will be played for the last time in 50 overs. Now how much power is there in the words of Ravi Shastri and Dinesh Karthik and only time will tell what ICC thinks about it. read this also- Virat Kohli made Rahul Dravid wait, head coach was yearning for 16 months
