ENG vs IND: Mian Bhai was adjudged the Player of the Match for taking 9 wickets in the match. Harry Brook and captain Shubman Gill, who thrashed the Indian bowlers on the fourth day of the Oval Test, received the Player of the Series award. Now it was the turn of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Due to the series ending in a draw, India and England shared this trophy among themselves, which was earlier known as the Pataudi Medal of Excellence.

ENG vs IND: Currently, the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is not with either of the two teams. In such a situation, the question arises that why did India and England share the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025? According to the rule, if the series ends in a draw, then the winning team of the previous series keeps the trophy. In such a situation, this trophy should have been given to the Indian team but it did not happen.

ENG vs IND: Trophy named after Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson

ENG vs IND: The Board of Control for Cricket in India and the England Cricket Board together decided to change the name of this trophy from Pataudi Medal of Excellence to Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Both the boards wanted that the Test series played between India and England should be named after these two legends.

ENG vs IND: Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson are not only legendary players of their respective countries, but are also the players who have played the most matches in Test cricket. Tendulkar played 200 Test matches for India, while Anderson has participated in 188 Test matches for England so far.

Why did India not get the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy?

After the victory at the Oval, questions arose in the minds of Indian fans as to why India was not given the trophy even though it defeated England 4-1 in a five-match Test series held at home in 2024. In fact, the organizers have decided to consider the 2025 series as the first edition of this trophy. Therefore, the results before this were not included in it. This is why the trophy is currently shared. Fans will have to wait a few more years for its first clear winner to be decided, when these two teams will face each other again.

India’s tour of England

India is scheduled to tour England in 2029, while a Test series is also expected between these two teams during the 2027-29 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, which will be the first Test series of this trophy on Indian soil.

India and England previously competed for the Pataudi Trophy on English soil. The last edition was played in 2021-22, which ended in a 2-2 draw. But England retained the trophy as they won the series 4-1 in 2018. On Indian soil, both these teams used to play for the Anthony de Mello Trophy. Its last edition was held last year, in which India won 4-1.

However, now with this new series, India and England will play only for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in both the countries. Both the earlier trophies, the Pataudi Trophy and the Anthony de Mello Trophy, have now been retired.

Kavya Maran’s Sun Group bring two pakistani players: The men’s ‘The Hundred’ is starting on August 5. The final match of this tournament is to be played on August 31. Fans are very excited about this. Just before the tournament, news has come that Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran’s Sun Group based team Northern Superchargers has added two Pakistani players to the team as replacements.

• The Hundred 2025 Replacements

Kavya Maran: After the Pahalgam attack on April 22, there was a lot of discussion whether Pakistani cricketers would be excluded from The Hundred League, especially when new Indian investors have entered this tournament? Let us tell you that now four out of the eight franchises of the league are owned by India-based owners and two others are owned by Indian-American investors. In such a situation, uncertainty about this tournament had increased.

Kavya Maran: Aamir and Imad join Northern Superchargers

But all those apprehensions came to an end on Monday when Pakistan’s Mohammad Aamir and Imad Wasim signed with Northern Superchargers. Sun Group also operates Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. Aamir and Imad have been included in the team as late replacements for Ben Dwarshuis and Mitchell Santner.

Earlier this year, ECB head Richard Gold had assured that there would be no interference from team owners in the selection of players. But when no Pakistani male player was selected in the March draft, many questions arose. Some attributed this to scheduling clashes with Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies and the tri-series in the UAE.

Interestingly, the atmosphere in the Superchargers camp will be even more glamorous this time, as star all-rounder Ben Stokes will be present with the team in a mentoring role. The team will be captained by Harry Brook, and the Superchargers’ first match will be played against Welsh Fire on August 7.

The Hundred 2025 Replacements

Even before the arrival of Aamir and Imad, many teams participating in the tournament have replaced players. John Simpson and Dan Douthwaite have joined London Spirit in place of Jamie Smith and Ollie Pope. Apart from this, Mark Chapman has replaced Rachin Ravindra in the Manchester Originals team, Farhan Ahmed has replaced Marchant de Lange and Amurutha Surenkumar has replaced Ella McCon.

ENG vs IND 2025: R Ashwin picks his three unforgettable moments from Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy

“Kuldeep Yadav has to play the home Tests because South Africa and West Indies will find it very difficult to pick him,” R Ashwin said.

The five-match Test series between India and England was thoroughly enjoyed by cricket enthusiasts around the world as two top teams fought tooth and nail to get their hands on the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. However, in the end, the series ended in a 2–2 draw, and the trophy didn’t get its inaugural winner.

• Kuldeep Yadav has to play the home Tests versus South Africa and West Indies: Ashwin

Nevertheless, there were plenty of moments that will go down in the annals of cricketing history. Ravichandran Ashwin picked three such moments in a recent video shared by him on social media. He mentioned how Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar refused to shake hands with Ben Stokes in the fourth Test at Old Trafford. The England captain was happy to settle for a draw, but Jadeja and Sundar wanted to get to their centuries, leading to some tension among the players.

Ashwin also mentioned the heartwarming moment at the end of the third Test at Lord’s when Joe Root and Crawley tried to console a rejected Mohammed Siraj after he was out in one of the most unfortunate ways possible. The Tamil Nadu spinner finished with Siraj’s signature celebration in Cristiano Ronaldo style after dismissing Gus Atkinson on the final day of the fifth Test at The Oval.

“1.When Ben Stokes and Crawley walked up to shake hands at Old Trafford and India refused. 2.When Mohammed Siraj was crouched and Root and Crawley came up to him after the loss at Lord’s. 3.When Siraj did his signature celebration after removing Gus Atkinson at The Oval,” Ashwin said in a video uploaded on his official YouTube channel.

Kuldeep Yadav has to play the home Tests versus South Africa and West Indies: Ashwin

Kuldeep Yadav was a part of the Indian squad but didn’t get a single game. However, Ashwin believes that the Uttar Pradesh spinner should play the home Tests against South Africa and the West Indies later this year as the opposition batters will struggle to pick him.

“The way we have played in the current regime, I don’t think they will go in search of an extra bowler. I think they will omit a seamer and bring Kuldeep Yadav in his place in Indian conditions. That’s what will and should happen. There is a possibility that Axar will also play with them. The point to note is that we have packed our team with spinners at home before. Kuldeep Yadav has to play the home Tests because South Africa and West Indies will find it very difficult to. pick him. We can consider that he would play, but I am not sure who they would drop from the XI?”

Sunil Gavaskar: India has won the Oval Test match by 6 runs.

Sunil Gavaskar: After India’s thrilling 6-run win in the Oval Test match, not only did Team India finish the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test series 2-2, but the discussion about the workload management of the Indian cricket team has also intensified.

• Sunil Gavaskar made a big statement

Sunil Gavaskar: On the other hand, now former Indian opener and well-known cricketer commentator Sunil Gavaskar has taken a dig at head coach Gautam Gambhir while taking a class on management and also questioned the excessive dependence on giving rest to players like Jasprit Bumrah.

Sunil Gavaskar: It is worth noting that veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was released before the Oval Test match, and he played only three Test matches due to heavy workload. At the same time, Gavaskar says that this policy of Team India has now become a big topic of discussion in modern day cricket.

Sunil Gavaskar made a big statement

Let us tell you that after the end of the England vs India fifth Test match, Gavaskar was quoted by NDTV as saying-

It is always said that bowlers win matches, but the fact is that you have to score runs as well. So because India could not score runs, they lost two matches. So yes, I think Siraj bowled with all his heart, and he ended this illusion of workload management forever.

I hope the word ‘workload’ will be removed from the dictionary of Indian cricket. I have been saying this for a long time. In five Test matches consecutively, he bowled 6-over, 7-over, 8-over spells because that’s what the captain wanted, and the country had expectations from him. And I think this is the one thing that we all should keep in mind that this workload is only a mental thing, not a physical thing.

Monty Panesar: Apart from Bumrah, they have many aggressive bowlers for example like Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep: Panesar

Monty Panesar said that now the Indian team is not dependent on Bumrah. Apart from Bumrah, they have many aggressive bowlers who can take charge of the team. For example, players like Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Anshul Kamboj gave a tough challenge to the England batsmen. Where on one side Krishna and on the other side Siraj with the new ball kept the grip on the game.

43-year-old Monty Panesar gave a big statement while advising the management

Monty Panesar said – There is no doubt that Bumrah is a good bowler, but now it is the right time for the team to give Mohammad Siraj a chance to lead the bowling camp. The way Siraj took over in England, he will emerge as a golden player for India.

A look at the performance of Siraj-Krishna

On the other hand, Siraj and Prasidh registered figures of 9/190 (4/86 and 5/104) and 8/188 (4/62 and 4/126) respectively in their best innings against England. His fast and aggressive bowling was one of the main reasons why the team led by Shubman Gill ended the series in a draw.

Siraj’s biggest strength is his strong physical strength. He bowls consistently in any situation. In this series, he bowled a total of 185.3 overs, where he took 23 wickets at an average of 32.43. There was a question in everyone’s mind that who will come after Bumrah, so today India has the answer to this question in the form of players like Siraj, Krishna, Akashdeep and Arshdeep.

When 25-year-old Shubman Gill was given the command of the Test team before the start of the Indian team’s England tour 2025, many questions were arising in the minds of cricket pundits. However, Gill finished the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test series 2-2 under his captaincy.

Let us tell you that after the end of the England vs India five-match Test series, Ajay Jadeja said on Sony Sports-

If we look at his captaincy throughout the series, he has been performing consistently well. He has been defensive. The kind of team you selected in the first match was the first sign. After that, he has improved. When he felt there was a shortcoming, he changed it the next time.

His approach is not aggressive. His approach is defensive. However, one good thing was seen, although, I do not agree with it, but his perseverance was seen, and it is also clearly visible on the scoreline. He has shown his consistency. He has shown his calmness. Today there was a moment when he had to take many decisions. Even when one run was needed on the last ball, he did not change his strategy.
