    Heartwarming To Know That We Have Kept The Pataudi Legacy Alive, Says Sachin Tendulkar

    By IANS News June 19, 2025 • 19:42 PM View: 363
    Both Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi: Legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar said it was a heartwarming moment for him to ensure that the Pataudi family’s legacy will continue to be a part of the India-England cricket rivalry through a medal to be presented to the winning captain of the Test series played between two teams, which will now be contested for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

    The ECB’s move to rename the erstwhile Pataudi Trophy after Tendulkar and James Anderson drew criticism. But with Tendulkar revealing that he also reached out to the ECB, BCCI, and ICC Chairman Jay Shah to ensure the Pataudi name should remain a part of India-England cricket, it was unveiled on Thursday that a newly commissioned ‘Pataudi Medal’ will be presented to the winning captain of each Test series played between the two teams.

    “When the Pataudi Trophy was retired, I was travelling, I think in Spain or somewhere, and I heard about it. The decision was taken by the ECB and BCCI to retire and start a new trophy altogether. So, the new trophy, the first time I got to know about it was, I think, just some time ago, last month, when ECB and BCCI decided to name this trophy after both of us.”
