The Pataudi Trophy was introduced in 2007 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the inaugural Test match between India and England, which took place at Lord’s in 1932. Team India, led by legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid, secured a comfortable 1-0 win in a three-match Test series on English soil.
Tendulkar and Anderson faced each other in 14 Tests between 2006 and 2012. While Tendulkar scored 208 runs during those encounters, Anderson dismissed him nine times — the most by any bowler in Tendulkar’s Test career.
The Pataudi Name Will Remain Associated with the England-India Series
Boria Majumdar said that the trophy is expected to be the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, not Tendulkar-Anderson. However, Majumdar added that the legacy of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi is not being removed from the India-England Test series.

ECB and BCCI Say Trophy Renaming Not Meant to Disrespect Pataudi Legacy
Boria Majumdar said that the BCCI and ECB have no intention of disrespecting the Pataudi family's legacy with the renaming of the trophy. He added that the trophy will have a new name, but the Pataudi name will still be associated with the India-England Test series.
"This is a blend of tradition and modernity. While the legacy of the Pataudis—like Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, who played for two countries, and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, former India captain who also played for Sussex—continues, the change aims to build a cultural bridge," he continued.
England currently holds the trophy, having drawn the most recent series 2–2. The series began in 2021 and concluded in 2022 after being delayed due to Covid-19.
