Sachin Tendulkar had once suggested that a four-innings ODI could make the format more interesting. Years later, he says his idea was misunderstood; he wasn’t asking for batsmen to get two chances but it was a thought aimed at making ODIs a more even contest that didn’t depend on toss and conditions.
My idea of converting ODIs into four innings was kind of misunderstood. Generally, it was felt that I was asking for two batting innings for batsmen while the idea was to give a fair chance to both teams.
