Why do batsmen in T 20 matches sit close to the boundary?

Question

Most of the time I saw batsmen in T 20 matches sit close to the boundary. Any idea about that?

Answer 1

In test and 50 overs cricket, the two teams sit in the dressing room; but in T-20 cricket keeping in mind the time limitation, both teams sit in a baseball style dugout outside the boundary. In fact, on fall of a wicket the incoming batsman has to take guard within 1 minutes 30 seconds of the fall of wicket, failing which he will be declared timed out. In the 50 overs ODI and test cricket, a batsman can be timed out if he is not ready to take guard within 3 minutes of the fall of the previous wicket.
