‘Should’ve said no…’: Former Indian great slammed Sachin Tendulkar for agreeing to rename Pataudi Trophy

This move got the eyes of everyone as countless number of fans and a great number of former cricketers stated that renaming the series was an insult to the great Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. However, the series still got renamed in honour of England great James Anderson and Indian legend Sachin Tenduklar.

Recently, Indian great Karsan Ghavri slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and even Sachin Tendulkar for not deciding to stand against the change in the name.

“When it came to Sachin Tendulkar, that this trophy would be changed, and this trophy would be named after you and Anderson, Sachin should’ve said no. Objection is different,” said Ghavri.

“In the first place, you should’ve put your foot down and should’ve said ‘No, I don’t want to use my name because Tiger Pataudi’s name is already there. He’s a legend of Indian cricket. If you want to give medals, use our name. Trophy’s name should remain the same’. First of all, this question should’ve never been raised. You’re degrading somebody of a great stature,” he added.
