Pataudi Trophy
Updated: 12/11/2025, 5:54:21 PM Wikipedia source
The Pataudi Trophy was given to the winner of each Test cricket series between England and India for Test series played in England. The trophy was named after Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, who played for both India and England. It was designed and made by Jocelyn Burton. The trophy was first awarded in 2007 to mark 75 years since the two teams played their first Test match in 1932. India won the first Pataudi Trophy series in England in 2007. A team had to win a series to hold the Pataudi Trophy; if the series ended in a draw, the team that already held the Trophy retained it. In 2025, the Pataudi Trophy was replaced by the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy. A new Pataudi Medal of Excellence was announced to be awarded to the winning captain of the Anderson Tendulkar series.
