Kapil Dev
expressed surprise over the recent decision to rename the Pataudi Trophy as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, calling the move "strange." The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) renamed the trophy, awarded to the winner of the Test series hosted by England against India, in honour of cricket legends James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar.
"It feels a little strange… like, does this also happen? But that's okay, everything works in cricket. At the end of the day, there is no difference. Cricket is cricket. The cricket on the field should be the same," said the legend during an event organised by Three Sixty to commemorate his iconic unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup at Tunbridge Wells.
The renaming has sparked criticism from former players like Sunil Gavaskar, who described it as disturbing.
The Pataudi Trophy was instituted in 2007 and named after former India captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, whose family has deep ties to India-England cricket. Both Mansur and his father, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, captained India and played county cricket in England.

While the trophy's name has changed, the Pataudi legacy remains honoured through a special medal bearing the Pataudi name, awarded to the captain of the winning team.

"Hope they come back victorious": Kapil Dev extends best wishes to Shubman Gill-led Indian team ahead of England series
By Vipul Kashyap New Delhi [India], June 18 (ANI): As India prepares for a high-stakes Test series in England under the leadership of Shubman Gill, legendary cricketer Kapil Dev extended his best wishes to the young captain and the team on Wednesday. Speaking ahead of the much-anticipated tour, the former India skipper expressed his pride and optimism. 'We feel very proud and wish them all the luck. I hope they come back victorious,' said the 1983 World Cup-winning captain on the sidelines of an event here. Kapil also shared his thoughts on premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has made it clear that he does not want to take on the responsibility of leading the national side in Test cricket. Respecting Bumrah's stance, Kapil remarked, 'This is his personal views, to me the team is more important.' The fourth-ranked Test team will line up without its batting bigwigs Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who bid adieu to the Test format last month. Along with the batting wizards, India won't have the presence of its frontline crafty off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who retired from international cricket midway through the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India's squad: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana England Playing XI for the 1st Test against India: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (C), Jamie Smith (WK), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir.

Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders caught speeding at 101 mph, faces fine or court date
Shedeur Sanders cited for going 101 mph on Ohio highway days before Browns training camp (Image via Getty) Just months after being drafted by the Cleveland Browns, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is already making headlines and not the kind the team was hoping for. Early Tuesday morning, the 22-year-old was pulled over in Ohio for allegedly speeding at 101 miles per hour on the highway. It was 12:24 a.m., and according to police records, Sanders was driving north on I-71 when he was cited for going 41 mph over the limit. Police say Shedeur Sanders was clocked at 101 mph near Strongsville, Ohio According to the citation, Shedeur was pulled over by local authorities in Strongsville, about 20 minutes from downtown Cleveland. He was allegedly driving 101 mph, a clear violation of the speed limit and one that could come with steep penalties depending on how the case is handled. For now, it's a standard traffic ticket, but driving over 100 mph can sometimes result in harsher consequences depending on local laws, past driving history, or how the court views the offense. Luckily for Shedeur, this doesn't appear to involve any DUI or reckless endangerment charges, just excessive speed. The rookie QB now has two options: fight it in court or pay up Shedeur now has a choice: he can either fight the ticket in court or pay the fine outright. That's standard in these cases though fighting it could come with the hope of reducing points or penalties on his license. No official statement has been released by Sanders or the Browns organization, but it's safe to assume the team is aware. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo And considering this is his rookie offseason, the last thing they want is more off-field drama. Fans react as Sanders' 'fast start' takes on a whole new meaning Naturally, fans didn't waste time chiming in. Some joked that Sanders is just 'practicing his 40-yard dash in a car,' while others questioned his decision-making just weeks before Browns training camp. It's not uncommon for NFL players to land in hot water over speeding tickets, but driving over 100 mph? That's never a good look, especially for a rookie QB already under the microscope thanks to his famous last name and high expectations. While no one's calling this a scandal, it's definitely not the cleanest way to kick off your NFL career. Shedeur has time to clean it up, either by paying the fine or showing up in court. But you can bet Browns fans and coaches will be watching closely.
