Pehle jab yeh series England mein hoti thi, toh isse Pataudi Trophy kehte the, aur jab India mein hoti thi, toh isse Anthony de Mello Trophy ke naam se jana jata tha. Ab is series ka naam badalkar do mahaan cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar aur James Anderson ke naam par rakha gaya hai. Yeh naya naam 20 June 2025 se shuru hone wali five-match Test series se lagoo hoga, jo Leeds ke Headingley ground se shuru hogi.
Pataudi Trophy ka Itihaas
Pataudi Trophy ka naam 2007 mein shuru hua tha, jab India aur England ke beech Test cricket ke 75 saal poore hue the. Yeh trophy Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi aur unke bete Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi ke naam par rakhi gayi thi. Iftikhar Ali Khan ek aise rare cricketer the jinhone dono teams – India aur England – ke liye Test cricket khela. Unke bete Mansoor, jinhe “Tiger” Pataudi bhi kehte hain, India ke ek shandar captain rahe aur unhone 1960s aur 1970s mein team ko lead kiya.
Pataudi Trophy ko retire karne ka faisla ECB ne liya tha, jisse kai logon ne naraazgi bhi dikhayi thi, jaise ki Mansoor ki wife Sharmila Tagore aur former India captain Sunil Gavaskar. Unka kehna tha ki yeh faisla Pataudi family ke cricket mein yogdaan ko kam dikhata hai.
Anthony de Mello Trophy
Jab India aur England ke beech Test series India mein hoti hai, toh usse Anthony de Mello Trophy ke liye khela jata hai. Yeh trophy 1951-52 se chali aa rahi hai aur iska naam BCCI ke founder member Anthony de Mello ke naam par rakha gaya hai. Abhi yeh clear nahi hai ki Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy India mein bhi kheli jayegi ya sirf England mein hone wali series ke liye hai.
Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy: Ek Naya Adhyay
Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy ka naam dono countries ke do legendary cricketers ke naam par rakha gaya hai. Sachin Tendulkar, jinhone Test cricket mein sabse zyada 15,921 runs banaye, aur James Anderson, jinhone 188 Test matches khele aur Tendulkar ko 9 baar dismiss kiya, dono apne desh ke liye iconic players hain. Yeh naya naam in dono ke cricketing legacy ko celebrate karta hai aur India-England rivalry ko ek nayi pehchaan deta hai.
Yeh faisla ek tarah se doosre countries ke jaisa hai, jaise New Zealand aur England ke beech Crowe-Thorpe Trophy, jo Martin Crowe aur Graham Thorpe ke naam par hai.
Series ke Baare Mein
Nayi Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy ke liye pehli series 20 June 2025 se shuru hogi. Yeh five-match Test series hogi, jisme India aur England ke naye captains, Shubman Gill aur Ben Stokes, apni teams ko lead karenge. England is waqt Pataudi Trophy ka final holder hai, kyunki 2021-2022 series 2-2 se draw rahi thi.
Logon ka Reaction
X par logon ne is naye naam ko lekar kaafi excitement dikhayi hai. Kai fans ne isse “cricketing royalty” ka tribute kaha hai, kyunki Sachin aur Anderson dono apne desh ke liye bade stars rahe hain. Posts ke mutabik, yeh na sirf ek series ka naam hai, balki dono countries ke beech historic rivalry ko aur bhi yaadgaar banayega.
Kya Hai Aage?
Abhi yeh clear nahi hai ki Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy dono countries mein kheli jayegi ya sirf England mein. Anthony de Mello Trophy ka kya hoga, yeh bhi confirm nahi hua hai. Lekin itna pakka hai ki yeh naya naam cricket fans ke liye ek naya josh lekar aayega.
