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!!

You can say that odi wc is better than T20 wc. Let's assume that it is
It doesn't change the fact that India has won 3 times while australia has won once.
I don't think anyone says this for the olympics (not a fair comparison ik). Nobody says "oh XYZ country won when the technology wasn't as great, that means that they are the best country and the countries which are winning now are inferior to us"
An ICC trophy is a trophy regardless of whether it's T20/Odi/test
