The upcoming five-match Test series between India and England, beginning on June 20, 2025, has drawn attention not just for the cricketing rivalry but also for the controversy surrounding the name of the trophy. Originally known as the Pataudi Trophy, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had proposed renaming it as the *Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy*, to honor two legends—Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson, who are the highest run-scorer and wicket-taker in Test cricket, respectively.
