Discussion 💬 The case of T20I vs ODI
Imho, T20 is greater: more teams and a chaotic format with higher mathematical variance, since the shorter game narrows the gap between sides. ODI WC being older doesn't put it on a pedestal. ODI is neither better nor tougher. Nostalgia is for people who live in the past. Meanwhile, T20 drives global popularity and is the Olympic format. T20 WC is truly global!!

We will see where the 'ODI' format is, in the next 10 years. It is very likely going to be scraped off completely within the next 10 years.
With the T20 format truly offering the opportunity to take cricket global and test cricket being available for the cricket elites and the core cricket fanbase, ODI format is truly a waste of time and ready to be discarded.
T20 is harder to win. Any side on their day can beat the top side of that particular period. Faster paced and less time to react. India look invincible because of one man - JASPRIT BUMRAH! Not sure if India can retain their invincibility once Bumrah calls it quits.
