Twenty20 cricket is designed to suit the aggressive brand of cricket, or so it has been perceived by the players and sold to the audience by its managers. Twenty overs of non-stop action in which every player brings forth his attacking instincts is what this format has become synonymous with.

Batsmen aren't shy of taking the aerial route or playing high risk shots right from the first ball bowled and successful T20 bowlers also believe that taking wickets is the best way to stem the flow of runs. While batting and bowling in this format has indeed evolved, the same can't be said about captaincy. Most captains are still allowing the game to run at its own pace and wait for the opportunities to come their way instead of creating them.
