The Pataudi Trophy has been a major topic of discussion among the fans and experts since the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) decided to rename it the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
The Pataudi Trophy, for which India and England have played a Test series on English soil since 2007, was recently replaced. The Pataudi Trophy was named after Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and his son, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi.
