‘It is jarring to know that Anderson's name comes first': Sunil Gavaskar on why Sachin's name should come first in Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy
India legend Sunil Gavaskar said that the putting James Anderson's name ahead of Sachin Tendulkar in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series between India and England was not something that he agreed with. The former batter pointed out that Sachin was much senior to Anderson and the India icon's achievements far outweighed the English bowler's. 'The ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) is fully entitled to call the series by any name they choose but for most, if not all, Indian cricket lovers it is jarring to know that Anderson's name comes first. Not only is Sachin Tendulkar along with Kapil Dev the greatest Indian cricketer, but also senior to Anderson by more than a dozen years. He is numero uno as far as runs and centuries are concerned in Test cricket but also at the one-day level too he has more runs than anybody else,' Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-day. 'Anderson is third in the list of wicket takers in Test cricket and his record is nowhere as good as Tendulkar in one-day cricket. Tendulkar is also part of a World Cup winning team which Anderson has not been. Jimmy Anderson was a terrific bowler but mainly in English conditions and his record away is nowhere near as good as Tendulkar's is. I also urge all Indian cricket lovers including the India media to call it the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy,' he added. The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is a joint initiative between the ECB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and will replace the previous trophies on offer — series in England were played for the Pataudi Trophy while series in India were contested for the Anthony De Mello Trophy before this. The BCCI and ECB had opted to have images of Anderson and Tendulkar on the new Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in recognition of the contribution of both legends. They are the most-capped players in the history of Test cricket: Tendulkar played 200 matches, and Anderson 188. One of the finest exponents of swing bowling, Anderson, scalped 704 Test wickets, the most by a pacer in Tests. This puts him third on the all-time list, behind just legendary spinners like Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne. Tendulkar, meanwhile, remains the highest run-scorer in Test history with 15,921 runs. He made his debut at the age of 16 and went on to enjoy a distinguished 24-year international career, during which he played a pivotal role in India's success against every other Test-playing nation.

‘Can't celebrate like Rishabh Pant, or bat like him': Ex-India players react to viral handspring celebration
Rishabh Pant's handspring celebration — as much as his 178-ball 134 — was one of the highlights of Saturday's action in the Headingley Test at Leeds. After the wicketkeeper-batter scored his seventh Test ton on the way to helping India score 471 against England in the first innings, he celebrated by doing a very acrobatic handspring that a gymnast would be proud of. Former India cricketers like Ravi Shastri, Dinesh Karthik, and Cheteshwar Pujara were left awestruck by the acrobatic celebration from Pant. Former India coach Ravi Shastri's verdict on the celebration was simple. 'Nothing wrong in that. That's him. Let him be. You know, he's different. At a very young age, he did a lot of gymnastics,' said the former India cricketer and coach, who now sits in the commentary booth, while talking to BCCI's social media team. He then joked: 'Even if I might have tried it (the handspring), I think I might have… (but) it would have been to go into the pool.' 📸🤸♂️ Ending Day 2 with a 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙩-𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 celebration 🥳 Scorecard ▶️ | #ENGvIND | @RishabhPant17 — BCCI (@BCCI) June 21, 2025 India cricketer Pujara added: 'Rishabh being Rishabh, he does something unique. He does it really well. I think it was unique. No one expected him to do that. I've never tried it. I'll need a lot of practice because that is something if you haven't tried, you can't do it.' Karthik, meanwhile, was astounded by both of Pant's feats on Day 2 of the first India vs England Test, his swashbuckling century and the flamboyant celebration. READ MORE: Why handspringing Rishabh Pant is a box-office superstar in traditional Leeds 'Neither could I do the somersault handspring like him, nor can I bat like him,' said Karthik, a former India wicketkeeper-batter himself. 'I think on both fronts (keeping and batting) he has exceeded expectations. It's quite an effort to do that, actually. And he does it consistently.' Karthik then added: 'When I was very young, my parents did make me participate in gymnastics and I did try and I was an utter failure at that. So, let's just leave it there because he (Pant) is doing it so much nicer when he celebrates it.'

Watch: Rishabh Pant Throws Ball In Anger As Massive Controversy Erupts After Umpire Refuses To...
India vice-captain Rishabh Pant had an animated chat with the on-field umpire during the ongoing first Test against England in Leeds. The incident happened in the first session on Day 3 as Pant was not happy with the condition of the Dukes ball. He approached the umpire, asking him to have a look at the ball. While the umpire did have a look at the ball by passing it through the gauge, Pant's appeal did not lead to any fruit. In a viral video, Pant was clearly not satisfied with whatever the umpire told him, and threw the ball away in frustration. The incident happened in the 63rd over when England captain Ben Stokes was batting alongside Harry Brook. Rishabh Pant asked the umpire to change the ball, got denied and then threw it in frustration — Sandy (@flamboypant) June 22, 2025 Before the start of play on Day 3, India and England players wore black armbands to pay their respect to former fast bowler David Lawrence, who passed away on Sunday. He was 61. Lawrence, who was affectionately known as 'Syd', played five Tests (18 wickets) and a lone ODI (4 wickets) for England between 1988 and 1992. Lawrence, the first British-born Black cricketer to represent England, was battling motor neurone disease (MND) since last year. "Both teams are wearing black armbands to pay their respects to former England Cricketer, David 'Syd' Lawrence, who has sadly passed away. There was a moment's applause before the start of play on Day 3," the BCCI said in a statement. Lawrence was diagnosed with the disease in 2024, a degenerative condition that affects the brain and nerves, leading to muscle wastage and there is no known cure to it. He had also authored a book 'Syd's Voice' to create awareness about MND and was involved in charity to raise funds for other patients. A Gloucestershire legend, Lawrence amassed 515 wickets from 185 First-Class matches and 155 wickets from 113 List A games. A promising bowler with extreme pace of his time, Lawrence's international career ended when he suffered a serious kneecap injury while bowling against New Zealand at Wellington in 1992.
