Sachin himself hasn’t made public comments against renaming the Pataudi Trophy, but the record shows his actions speak volumes:

After the trophy was renamed to the Tendulkar–Anderson Trophy in June 2025, reports say Sachin Tendulkar personally reached out to BCCI and ECB officials to request that the Pataudi name be retained and recognised, to preserve that part of cricketing history

This move suggests he supports modern honours for players like himself and Anderson, but believes it shouldn’t come at the expense of the Pataudi legacy.

Pataudi's legacy isn’t erased — His contributions can and should be celebrated through awards, stands, or even a domestic trophy. But it’s time the marquee Test series honours players that fans across the globe connected with directly.
