The England Cricket Board’s decision to rename the India vs England Test series from the Pataudi Trophy to James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar’s name (Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy). There was a lot of debate about this, many people also appeared against it. Now India has also received the response of Kapil Dev, the captain who won the first World Cup.

Kapil Dev said that he is surprised by the decision to change the name of Pataudi Trophy to Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. He described this decision as strange. The Test series between India vs England was named Pataudi Trophy in 2007 in honor of Mahan Mansoor Khan Pataudi. The Pataudi family has been associated with India and England. Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and his son Mansoor captained the Indian team and also played county cricket for England.

What did Kapil Dev say

On the decision to change the name of the India vs England Test series, Kapil Dev said in an event, “It’s a little strange, is it too? But well, everything goes on in cricket. After all, there is no difference. There is no difference. Cricket is cricket, should be the same on the ground.”

There was a lot of discussion about this decision of the England Cricket Board, many people also appeared against it. Sachin Tendulkar himself spoke to the officials of the England Cricket Board about this and asked not to remove Pataudi heritage from this series. However, ECB decided to maintain the Pataudi Medal for Excellence. This medal is given to the captain of the winning team, which was started to maintain the legacy of the former captain of India.

This is India’s first Test series after the retirement of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin. Shubman Gill is a new captain and with this a new era of Indian cricket is going to begin.

India tour of england 2025: It is difficult for Shubman Gill & Team to win the Test series in England, that it is that Virat Kohli has never won the Indian cricket team in England under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Along with Virat, Rohit Sharma has also retired from the Test, so there will be more pressure on this team.

The Indian cricket team won its first Test series in England in 1971. Then the team won 1-0 in the 3-match series. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, Team India will want history in England. However, before this, the Indian team has come to play Test series in England. India has won the series only 3 times.
