"Should've Said No": Sachin Tendulkar Slammed By India Great On Renaming Of Pataudi Trophy
The five-match Test series between India and England ended in a 2-2 draw, giving fans a memorable cricketing action. This series, which was Shubman Gill 's first stint as India's Test captain, was renamed as the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy from the iconic Patuadi Trophy. This move grabbed everyone's attention as many fans and former cricketers raised their voices and stated that it was an insult to the great Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. However, the series was still renamed in the honour of former England pacer James Anderson and India great Sachin Tendulkar. Recently, India great Karsan Ghavri slammed the BCCI and even Sachin for not taking a firm stand against the change of the series name. He even name dropped Sunil Gavaskar and stated that if the name of Border-Gavaskar would have been changed then the former opener "would have shake the whole India". "That is very wrong. Number one, the Australia-West Indies series is always called the Frank Worrell Trophy. The India-Australia Trophy is always called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If its name changed, Gavaskar poore India ko hila ke rakh dega (Gavaskar will shake the whole of India)," Ghavri told Vicky Lalwani on the latter's YouTube channel. "The BCCI should've put its foot down with the MCC and the ECB. Tiger's name shouldn't have been removed," he added. Ghavri then went on to criticise Sachin for not "putting his foot down" and not honouring the stature of Pataudi. "In the same context, when it came to Sachin Tendulkar, that this trophy would be changed, and this trophy would be named after you and Anderson, Sachin should've said no. Objection is different," said Ghavri. "In the first place, you should've put your foot down and should've said 'No, I don't want to use my name because Tiger Pataudi's name is already there. He's a legend of Indian cricket. If you want to give medals, use our name. Trophy's name should remain the same'. First of all, this question should've never been raised. You're degrading somebody of a great stature," he added.

Sachin Tendulkar Slammed As India Legend's Stature Degraded: 'Sunil Gavaskar Poore Hindustan Ko Hila Dega'
Karsan Ghavri says by renaming India-England Test series to Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Tiger Pataudi's name has been degraded. The criticism over the renaming of India-England Test series continues with former pacer Karsan Ghavri slamming the administrators for removing legendary captain Tiger Pataudi's name from the trophy. The winner of the Test series between the two teams in England was traditionally presented with Pataudi Trophy. However, it was rechristened to Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy earlier this year resulting in backlash. Ghavri has challenged to rename the Border-Gavaskar Trophy – played for the Test series between India and Australia – and then brace for the reaction from the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. 'That is very wrong. Number one, Pataudi Trophy has been going on for a long time. The Australia-West Indies series has always been called Frank Worrell Trophy. India-Australia Test series has always been called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Try changing the name of that and see what Gavaskar does. Wo poora Hindustan ko hila ke rakh dega (Gavaskar would've shaken the whole country). The BCCI should've put its foot down with the MCC and the ECB. Tiger's name should not be removed from the trophy," said Ghavri on Vicky Lalwani's YouTube channel. What Tendulkar Said on Renaming While acknowledging that it wasn't in his power to ensure that Pataudi Trophy wasn't retired, Tendulkar did reveal he spoke to the administrators that the legacy should continue in some manner. '…I was determined to ensure that the (Pataudi) legacy was kept intact," Tendulkar told Revsportz. 'When I got to know, I called the (Pataudi) family and had a conversation. Thereafter, I spoke to Mr. Jay Shah (ICC chairman), the BCCI and the ECB, and mentioned to them that something had to be done to ensure the legacy stayed on." 'They heard my point of view, and thereafter we got on a second call where it was decided that the Pataudi name will be associated with the series, and the winning captain will be awarded the Pataudi Medal of Excellence. I have always respected my seniors, and did everything in my power to make sure that the Pataudi legacy continues to be associated with this series," he added. Ghavri though says Tendulkar could have done more to ensure the trophy was not discontinued. 'Objection is different. In the first place, he (Tendulkar) should've put his foot down and should've said 'Don't use my name because Tiger Pataudi's name is already there. He's one of our legends. If you want to give medals, use our name and hand it to the winning team. Trophy's name should've remained the same'," he said. 'BCCI is everything. First of all, this question should've never been raised. You're degrading somebody of a great stature," he added. view comments First Published: News cricket Sachin Tendulkar Slammed As India Legend's Stature Degraded: 'Sunil Gavaskar Poore Hindustan Ko Hila Dega' Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Gavaskar poore India ko hila ke rakh dega': Ex-India pacer on Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy name change
Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson (Image credit: England Cricket) Former India all-rounder Karsan Ghavri has criticised Sachin Tendulkar and the BCCI for allowing the historic Pataudi Trophy to be renamed as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which was first contested between India and England in July-August this year ending in a 2-2 draw. Ghavri expressed strong disapproval of the name change, calling it disrespectful to Tiger Pataudi's legacy in Indian cricket. Ghavri highlighted how other prestigious bilateral cricket trophies have maintained their historic names. Sachin Tendulkar Honoured at Lord's "That is very wrong. Number one, the Australia-West Indies series is always called the Frank Worrell Trophy. The India-Australia Trophy is always called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If its name changed, Gavaskar poore India ko hila ke rakh dega (Gavaskar will create a lot of noise)," Ghavri stated in a conversation with Vicky Lalwani on YouTube. The former cricketer placed significant responsibility on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for not opposing the decision more firmly in discussions with the MCC and ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board). "The BCCI should've put its foot down with the MCC and the ECB. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like SRM Online MBA: Accredited & Flexible SRM Online Enquire Now Undo Tiger's name shouldn't have been removed," Ghavri stressed. While acknowledging that Tendulkar did initially object to the renaming, Ghavri felt the cricket legend should have taken a stronger stance against the change. "In the same context, when it came to Sachin Tendulkar, that this trophy would be changed, and this trophy would be named after you and Anderson, Sachin should've said no. Objection is different," Ghavri remarked. Poll Do you agree with Karsan Ghavri's criticism of the renaming of the Pataudi Trophy? Yes, it's disrespectful to Pataudi's legacy. No, it's a fitting tribute to Tendulkar. Not sure, need more information. Ghavri, who played 39 Tests for India, suggested an alternative approach that could have preserved Pataudi's legacy while still honouring Tendulkar and Anderson. "In the first place, you should've put your foot down and should've said 'No, I don't want to use my name because Tiger Pataudi's name is already there. He's a legend of Indian cricket. If you want to give medals, use our name. Trophy's name should remain the same'," he stated. The former all-rounder expressed particular concern about the implications of the name change for Pataudi's status in Indian cricket history. "First of all, this question should've never been raised. You're degrading somebody of a great stature," Ghavri declared. The inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series demonstrated high-quality cricket from both teams, with India's Shubman Gill scoring 754 runs across five Tests in his first series as captain. Mohammed Siraj led the Indian bowling attack effectively during the series, claiming 23 wickets in nine innings, the highest among all bowlers. The series ultimately concluded with both teams sharing honours in a 2-2 draw, marking the first contest under the new trophy name that had replaced the long-standing Pataudi Trophy.

‘Tiger's name shouldn't have been removed': Sachin Tendulkar, BCCI should have said ‘no' to renaming Pataudi Trophy, says ex-India pacer
Former India seamer Karsan Ghavri expressed his displeasure over batting legend Sachin Tendulkar's inability to 'put his foot down' and object to the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) decision to rename the Pataudi Trophy ahead of the 2025 summer series against India. Established in commemoration of 75 years of India's first Test match appearance during the 2007 series, the ECB honoured the Trophy in the name of Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, who represented both countries, and his son Mansur Ali Khan (aka 'Tiger') Pataudi, who was regarded as one of India's finest-ever captains, leading in 40 of the 46 matches in his Test career. However, with the name and the trophy coming under the ECB's discretion, the board decided to rechristen the series earlier this year, replacing Pataudi's name with Tendulkar and England pace legend James Anderson enjoying the honours. Speaking on a YouTube show with Vickey Lalwani, Ghavri expressed his disbelief over how such a move came into fruition. A new-look India Test side under Shubman Gill featured in the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, drawing level with Ben Stokes' England 2-2 in a thrilling five-match series. 'That is very wrong. Number one, the Australia-West Indies series is always called the Frank Worrell Trophy. The India-Australia Trophy is always called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If its name changed, Gavaskar poore India ko hila ke rakh dega (Gavaskar will shake the whole of India),' Ghavri said. The 74-year-old Ghavri, who represented India in 39 Tests and 19 ODIs, criticised the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Tendulkar for their silence in rebranding the Pataudi Trophy. Tendulkar himself later revealed that he had proposed an idea to address the criticism over the renaming of the trophy, urging that the Pataudi Medal of Excellence be given to the series-winning captain. 'The BCCI should've put its foot down with the MCC and the ECB. Tiger's name shouldn't have been removed. 'In the same context, when it came to Sachin Tendulkar, that this trophy would be changed, and this trophy would be named after you and Anderson, Sachin should've said no. Objection is different,' Ghavri added. 'In the first place, you should've put your foot down and should've said 'No, I don't want to use my name because Tiger Pataudi's name is already there. He's a legend of Indian cricket. If you want to give medals, use our name. Trophy's name should remain the same,' Ghavri remarked.

Sachin Tendulkar blasted for allowing India legend's honour be 'degraded': 'Sunil Gavaskar poore India ko hila deta'
Former India all-rounder Karsan Ghavri has taken aim at Sachin Tendulkar over not 'putting his foot down' after the decision to rename the 'Pataudi Trophy' as the 'Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy', calling it a 'degrading' act for Pataudi's cricketing legacy. The renamed trophy was contested for the first time in July-August this year, with the series ending in a 2-2 draw. Ghavri questioned how such a move was cleared in the first place and labelled it a disrespect to the memory of the Nawab of Pataudi, whose name had been synonymous with the contest for decades. The Pataudi Trophy was renamed to Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy before the start of the series in June(PTI) 'That is very wrong. Number one, the Australia-West Indies series is always called the Frank Worrell Trophy. The India-Australia Trophy is always called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If its name changed, Gavaskar poore India ko hila ke rakh dega (Gavaskar will shake the whole of India),' Ghavri told Vicky Lalwani on the latter's YouTube channel. Ghavri squarely held the BCCI responsible for failing to oppose it. He questioned how the board could stay silent when the Pataudi Trophy's name was removed. 'The BCCI should've put its foot down with the MCC and the ECB. Tiger's name shouldn't have been removed,' said Ghavri. Ghavri criticising Tendulkar While Sachin Tendulkar did object to the decision at first, Ghavri was unimpressed with the cricketing great for not being firm enough on his stand. 'In the same context, when it came to Sachin Tendulkar, that this trophy would be changed, and this trophy would be named after you and Anderson, Sachin should've said no. Objection is different,' said the former all-rounder, who represented India in 39 Tests. 'In the first place, you should've put your foot down and should've said 'No, I don't want to use my name because Tiger Pataudi's name is already there. He's a legend of Indian cricket. If you want to give medals, use our name. Trophy's name should remain the same'. 'First of all, this question should've never been raised. You're degrading somebody of a great stature.' The first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy saw an excellent display of cricket from both sides, with Shubman Gill, leading in his maiden series, showcasing incredible form to smash 754 runs in five Tests, while Mohammed Siraj leading the pace attack with a series high 23 wickets in nine innings.
