2025 ka cricket season ek naye itihaas ka gawaah bana jab England aur India ke beech hone wale Test series ke liye ek nayi trophy ka announcement hua — Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy.
Ye trophy do cricket ke mahaan legends — Sachin Tendulkar (India) aur James Anderson (England) ke naam par rakhi gayi hai. Pehli baar ye trophy Headingley Test se shuru hone wale series mein di jaayegi.
Is Trophy Ka Mahatva
Anderson aur Tendulkar dono ne apne-apne desh ke liye Test cricket mein mahaan yogdan diya hai:
- Sachin Tendulkar: Test cricket ke sabse zyada runs banane wale legendary batsman, jinke 200 Tests aur 15,000+ runs kabhi nahi bhoolaye ja sakte.
- James Anderson: England ke sabse safal fast bowler, jinhone 700+ wickets le kar fast bowling ko naye star par pahunchaya.
In dono ke naam par trophy rakhna unki legacy ko respect dene ka ek historic step hai.
Pehle Kya Tha?
Isse pehle India aur England ke beech khel jaane wale Test series do alag-alag trophies ke liye hote the:
- England mein: Pataudi Trophy
- India mein: Anthony de Mello Trophy
Ab se dono series ek hi naam ke under khela jayega – Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy.

“Yeh nayi trophy dono deshon ke beech ke cricketing rishton ko ek naye daur mein le jaayegi. Ye un players ki respect hai jinhone Test cricket ko amar banaya.”
