Actress, Sharmila Tagore and cricketer, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi made headlines with their wedding back in 1968. The union was arguably the centre of all reports, with cinema and cricket being two of the most loved aspects of Indian society. While Mansoor passed away in 2011, he continued to live in the hearts of cricket fans, and the ‘Pataudi Trophy’ soon became a testament to his contribution to the cricket world. However, BCCI and ECB’s alleged plan to retire the trophy has left the Pataudi family hurt.

‘Tiger’ Pataudi’s legacy has always been acknowledged and respected. However, the decision made by The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has reportedly upset the late cricketer’s wife, Sharmila Tagore. While the decision is yet to be finalised, it is reported that the community has already notified Sharmila and her son, Saif Ali Khan, about the alleged decision. The actress has also expressed his displeasure with the motion after Saif was sent a letter by the ECB.
