Tendulkar Anderson Trophy : A few months before the England-India series began, it was learned that the England and Wales Cricket Board had decided that the name of the trophy would be changed at the end of this series. Earlier, former Indian captain Nawab Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi’s name was given a trophy in the India-England series winning team. However, the trophy was renamed the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy. That is, the ECB made the decision to honor the highest wicket owner among the world’s highest run owners and fast bowlers in the Test.
This time, Kapil Dev, the World Cup -winning captain, opened his mouth. He clearly states that when he first learned that Pataudi’s name was moving away from the trophy of this series, he was surprised. The trophy has been named after the former captain of India for 25 years to honor him. The Pataudi family relationship with England is actually a long time. Iftikhar Ali Khan Patoudi and his son Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, India captained India as well as county cricket in England.
Kapil Dev was questioned at an event. There, India’s World Cup -winning captain said, ‘The matter looks a little strange to me. Is that that? But okay. Everything is in cricket. And at the end of the day, there is no difference in this decision. Cricket is right on the field. ‘
It is learned that after the ECB’s decision, Sachin Tendulkar himself appealed to the ECB to reconsider the decision. ICC Chairman Joy Shah also tried to explain to the ECB. However, the England board then said that the Patoudi Medal was given, which would be given to the winning captain in the series. This series is about to be very important for Indian Test cricket. Because in the absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, India will play in this series led by Shubhman Gill. So Kapil Dev is advising Gill, only to play his best game without any pressure, then the desired result will come.
