Sunil Gavaskar roughs up ‘lame’ ECB for putting Anderson’s name ahead of Tendulkar: ‘His record nowhere close to Sachin’

Jun 22, 2025 04:01 PM IST Sunil Gavaskar urged the trophy to be called the 'Tendulkar-Anderson' trophy rather than the other way around. The controversy over renaming the Pataudi Trophy to the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy continues to simmer. After widespread criticism of the England Cricket Board's decision to retire the iconic Pataudi name, cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has questioned the board for placing James Anderson's name before Sachin Tendulkar's. The much-awaited silverware was unveiled by the two greats themselves on the eve of the five-Test series between India and England. But the Little Master argues that Tendulkar's cricketing legacy far surpasses Anderson's, despite the alphabetical order placing Anderson's 'A' before Tendulkar's 'T'. Sunil Gavaskar wants the si...

India vs England Leeds Test record: When Tendulkar, Dravid and Ganguly centuries stunned Headingley in 2002

India vs England 2025: Shubman Gill’s India are slated to take on Ben Stokes’ England in their first Test of the new World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, starting Friday, at the famous Headingley Grounds in Leeds. The hallowed venue, one of the oldest in the UK, has witnessed several iconic Test matches in recent years, including Stokes’ epic fourth-innings hundred in the 2019 Ashes to hand England a one-wicket victory. Interestingly, India and England have not featured in consistent Tests at the ground across the last five editions of the series between 2007 and 2021. During their last visit to the venue during the 2021-22 tour, India were humbled as the Joe Root-led side dismissed them out for 78 in the first innings, their lowest team score in England, before inflicting an innings def...

India vs England: From predictability of Bazball to new Indian era in Tests, reasons to watch series

The Indian cricket team starts a new era under captain Shubman Gill on Friday when the first Test of the India versus England series starts in Leeds. India legend Sachin Tendulkar believes that India will return from England victorious with a 3-1 scoreline. Naseer Hussain believes it will be 3-1 in England’s favour. Ahead of the five-match Test series, here are a few talking points: What will be India’s Playing XI? England have already named their playing XI for the first Test at Headingley. In the series defeat to Australia Down Under, India had taken just three full-time quicks through the series. But in England, under Shubman Gill there could be as many as four out-and-out pacers that could line up, Gill indicated. Story continues below this ad “You can’t win a Test ...

‘He had no concept of pressure’: Steve Waugh in awe of Vaibhav Suryavanshi but warns against Tendulkar comparison

Former Australia captain Steve Waugh is not a religious follower of the IPL. But when a precocious talent like Vaibhav Suryavanshi bursts onto the scene, even the legendary Aussie batter cannot help but sit up and take note. Waugh expressed disbelief over seeing the 14-year-old’s impeccable timing and striking for the Rajasthan Royals this IPL edition, but stressed that the dashing southpaw will bear the challenge of keeping all that prodigious talent under “control” over the forthcoming years. If batting at 14 in the IPL wasn’t enough, Suryavanshi rewrote the record books when he walloped a 35-ball century against Gujarat Titans, the fastest hundred by an Indian in the league’s history. Story continues below this ad “I watched that century and I just couldn’t believe how ...

He took the call as a professional, not as a superstar

To lose one experienced batter before a tour of England might be unfortunate; to lose two seems like carelessness. And yet, it is possible that picking Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli would have been more a tribute to the past than a solution for the present. A new generation is being thrown into the fray, and there’s nothing wrong with that. For so long has Kohli been Mr. Indian cricket that it will be difficult to countenance a future without him. He was a cultural force, a representative of an India with more money, more talent, more aggression than any other team. A drawn match meant nothing to him, victory was all. From his first Test in charge in Adelaide, where he scored two centuries and brought India to the doorstep before they lost, he showed a willingness to reach for a win ...

Sachin Tendulkar left mesmerised by Garo staple pumpkin chicken curry (Do’o Gominda) on summer jaunt to Meghalaya

Meghalaya chef Nambie Marak grew up with Sachin Tendulkar posters on her walls in Shillong. This weekend, the MasterChef runner-up found the perfect opportunity to rustle up a Garo special meal for her cricket hero as he visited the state. On the table was a chicken-pumpkin curry, the Do’o Gominda, of which Tendulkar asked for a second helping, Nambie told HubNews. “I had the unbelievable honor of cooking for the Sachin Tendulkar. Yes, that Sachin Tendulkar—the man whose name is woven into the fabric of every Indian childhood, including mine,” Nambie told HubNews, after she was invited by Courtyard Marriott Shillong, to showcase the rich, earthy flavours of Meghalaya at their Garo Food Festival.

A flash of Dhoni and a peep both into the past and the future

The valiant never taste of death but once, Caesar said, but he was wrong. If you are a sportsman, you die twice — once at retirement. The national mourning that followed the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar was different only in degree and volume from those that greeted similar goodbyes. There is a sadness about endings that is inevitable, and seems to affect some fans nearly as much as the players. It is not difficult to understand this. We weren’t just successful, wrote Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the NBA great, “we were significant.” You are in your thirties (usually) when a huge part of your identity, purpose, focus, and sense of belonging is taken away. You go from being a promising youngster to a world beater to a former star who sometimes annoys people with stories of the good old days.&...

‘I even have a photo with Sachin Sir and Glenn Maxwell…was throwing balls to them during their practice’: Shubman Gill recalls

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill would recall how Sachin Tendulkar had inspired him to be a cricketer and how his father Lakhwinder Singh was Sachin’s biggest fan. The 25-year-old would also narrate how he had taken a photo with Sachin and Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell in the early years of the Indian Premier League when they came to practice at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium which is on the outskirts of Chandigarh. “I remember attending three to four matches with my father at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Panchkula. In the second or third year of the IPL, Mumbai Indians came there for practice. I was around nine or ten years old at the time. I even have a photo with Sachin Sir and Glenn Maxwell. I was throwing balls to them during their practice,” Gill said speaking on JioHotstar show Sup...

Champions Trophy | ‘Virat Kohli’s engine room is ODI cricket and it could be his second innings’: R Ashwin on batter’s 51st ODI ton

With his 51st ODI hundred against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy match at Dubai on Sunday, Virat Kohli hit his first International hundred since the hundred against Australia in the Perth Test match during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Kohli, who had only amassed 190 runs in nine Test innings in Australia in the Border-Gavaskar trophy, had got out six times to off side deliveries followed by a half-century in three ODI matches against England last month. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has shared how he did not see those dismissals in red ball cricket as any ‘doubts’ and ODI cricket being Kohli’s engine room. “I never had any doubt about Virat’s quality. When we were playing in Australia, people were criticizing that he was nicking the ball in the slips. People shou...
