New Delhi . India’s veteran all-rounder Kapil Dev changed the name of the Pataudi Trophy to the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to the name of Pataudi Trophy to the name of Pataudi Trophy. The hosts England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have recently changed the name of the Pataudi Trophy to Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

Kapil said, “It seems a bit strange in the 1983 World Cup against Zimbabwe in a match organized by ‘Three Sixty’ to commemorate his unbeaten 175 -run memorable innings in a memorable innings of his unbeaten 175 runs.” It seems a little strange. Is this a little strange? But it is fine, everything goes on in cricket. ” He said, “Finally, there is no difference. Cricket is cricket. Cricket on the field should be the same.” The trophy was earlier named in honor of former India captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi but has been criticized by veterans like Sunil Gavaskar for changing its name.

The Pataudi Trophy was started in 2007 as a prestigious award for the winner of the series between the two teams on England soil. Both Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and his son Mansoor captained India and both played county cricket in England. Although the name of the series has changed, the Pataudi heritage will still be present in some form or the other as the captain of the winning team will now be given a special medal named Pataudi. India will start a five -match series in England under the leadership of newly appointed captain Shubman Gill, starting the new era in Test cricket without veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin.

Kapil advised this 25 -year -old captain to express himself. He said, “There is no expectations. Just go, play, express yourself. This is more important.” Kapil scored a brilliant century on 18 June 42 years ago. This 66 -year -old player brought the bat that he used to Tunbridge Wales on the day where he took India to 266 runs with a score of 17 runs for five wickets.

Kapil said, “I do not have many cricket things. I have given them, but I have this bat that belongs to my daughter.” He said, “This is a special day for me, but I don’t remember much about it. Those who watch the match remember it more than the players because we focus a lot on playing the match.” Kapil said, “But when people talk about it, this old memories refresh and feel great.”
