A trophy named after the greats Anthony de Mello and MAK Pataudi each time the teams play in India and England respectively, both sides go back a long way in battling it out in the longest format.

Since India’s first Test match under CK Nayudu on English soil in 1932 to their last series against England at home in 2016, they have played in a total of 117 Tests so far, with England clearly ahead with 43 victories as compared to India’s 25.

In fact, since 2014, both boards have committed to playing a five-Test series each time they meet. It was only in 2016 that England lost a Test series against India for the first time since 2008: they were winners twice at home in 2011 and 2014, having also beaten India in their own backyard in 2012.

Yet another intriguing encounter awaits the fans with England due to host India for five Tests in their upcoming home summer of 2018.
