Similarly, James Anderson is the highest Test wicket -taking fast bowler in the world with 704 wickets in the 188 Test match. Both are included among the great cricketers of cricket history. Also, both are also known for mutual rivalry on cricket pitch. James Anderson has also been one of the bowlers who dismissed Sachin Tendulkar the most often.

The Pataudi Trophy started 17 years ago

Nawab Pataudi was the youngest captain of his time and the youngest cricketer for India. Nawab Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, father of Nawab Pataudi, known as Tiger Pataudi, played cricket for both India and England. He was called Nawab Pataudi Senior. The Indo-England Test Trophy was first played in 2007 after the Nawab of Pataudi princely state near Gurugram. In 2007, the Pataudi Trophy was started on the completion of 75 years of the first Test match between India and England. Earlier, this trophy was called Anthony Demallo Trophy in the name of former BCCI president.

From Gavaskar to Sharmila Tagore, all got angry

The ECB announced the retirement of the Pataudi Trophy two months ago. After hearing this news, the great Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was very angry. He described it as a disturbing news. Also said that this will be the first decision of its kind in history. This reflects the complete lack of sensitivity to Pataudi’s contribution to cricket in both England and India. The news of retiring the Pataudi Trophy was also objected by Veteran Bollywood actress and Sharmila Tagore, wife of late Nawab Pataudi. He had said that whether BCCI wants to remember the legacy of Tiger or not, it has to be decided.
