Remove ads
The Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy,[3][4] formerly known as the Pataudi Trophy, is given to the winner of each Test cricket series between England and India when matches happen in England.[a] It was designed and made by Jocelyn Burton. The trophy was first awarded in 2007 to mark 75 years since the two teams played their first Test match in 1932. India won the first Pataudi Trophy series in England in 2007. Recently, its name is being changed after England’s former fast bowler James Anderson and India’s former batter Sachin Tendulkar.[6]

The series follow the International Cricket Council’s future tours programme. The gap between tours can change. A team must win a series to hold the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy. If the series ends in a draw, the team that already holds the Trophy retains it.

Background
The first Test series between England and India took place in 1932. Over the following decades, India toured England on fourteen occasions, with England winning eleven titles, India winning two and a series drawn.[citation needed]
Although a trophy was awarded during these contests, it remained unnamed until 2007. That year, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the inaugural series, the England and Wales Cricket Board formally introduced a cricket trophy, named after Pataudi family in their honour.[citation needed]

Introduction of the Trophy
In 2007, the Marylebone Cricket Club commissioned a new trophy to celebrate the 75th anniversary of India's first Test match in 1932. The trophy was designed and crafted by London silversmith Jocelyn Burton in her studio in Holborn. It was later displayed at Jocelyn's exhibition in November and December 2012 at Bentley & Skinner, London.[7]
Naming and renaming
The trophy was originally named in honour of Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, who remains the only cricketer to have represented both India and England in Test matches, having made three appearances for each national side and his son Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi[8] who captained India apart from playing schools cricket in England..
In 2025, the trophy was renamed to jointly honour England's former fast bowler James Anderson, the leading wicket-taker among pace bowlers (with 704 wickets), and India's former batter Sachin Tendulkar, the highest run-scorer (15,921 runs) in Test cricket history.[9]The renaming was criticized, including by late Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi's wife Sharmila Tagore and former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar.[10][11]
Recent series results
Since 2007, five Test series have been played in England under the officially named trophy. England have won three of these series, India have won one, and one series ended in a draw.[12]
