Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has given the idea to increase the excitement in the T20 cricket format. He has asked to start 12 runs on a single ball with 6 runs on a ball in cricket.

Kevin Pietersen tweets and gives the idea of 12 runs on a ball in T20s
Kevin Pietersen said that by tweeting that if a batsman hits 100 meters or longer sixes in the match, then he should get 12 runs instead of six. He has also counted the advantages of giving 12 runs on long sixes in his next tweet.
Pieterson believes that when there is an option to score 12 runs on one ball, no match can be said to end until it is completely over. Many times it happens that when more than six runs have to be scored on a ball, then the match is considered over. So If the 12 runs option is made available to batsmen then the thrill of matches can increase further.
Pietersen tweeted this on Tuesday about this and also tagged the ICC. He quoted
“I want an addition to the rules in T20 cricket! Or, @englandcricket can do it in the 100. If a player hits a 6 that goes over 100m, I want a 12 awarded! @ICC
