Sachin Tendulkar Accepts Honour with Humility, Wants Pataudi Legacy to Continue

Sachin Tendulkar has accepted the honour of having the bilateral series between India and England named after him, but only after ensuring that the Pataudi legacy remains intact. In an interview with Cricbuzz, Tendulkar spoke about the new trophy, the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, and how he worked with the Pataudi family to keep the legacy alive.

Keeping the Pataudi Legacy Alive

Tendulkar revealed that he first spoke to the Pataudi family before accepting the honour, to ensure that the legacy of the great man was not forgotten. He discussed ideas with Jay Shah, the BCCI, and the ECB to introduce the Pataudi Medal of Excellence for the winning captain, which he felt was a good match given Pataudi's leadership qualities.

Respect for Honours

Tendulkar expressed his respect for all honours, but does not like comparing them. He believes that when an honour comes from the heart, it means a lot, and he accepts it with humility.

Memories of the Pataudis

Tendulkar shared his memories of the Pataudis, including the stories of Tiger Pataudi's incredible comeback to international cricket after losing his eye. He also spoke about his respect for the Pataudi family, but chose not to disclose who he spoke to.

Inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy

Tendulkar is hoping that the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will pan out in India's favour, and believes that overall team performance will be key to bringing the trophy back home. He emphasized the importance of good catching, fielding, and discipline in bowling.

Confidence in the Team

Tendulkar has no doubt that the current Indian team is capable of winning the trophy, and believes that they plan well and execute their plans well. He encouraged the team to take pride in representing the country and bringing laurels to the nation.
