On 25 June 1932, India started its journey in international Cricket as a Test-playing nation, making its debut against England at Lord's. The series is fought over two trophies: 

Anthony de Mello Trophy:
This trophy was awarded for the Test series played between India and England when the series is held in India.
 
Pataudi Trophy:
This trophy was awarded when the Test series between India and England is played in England.
 
In June 2025, the ECB and BCCI decided to award the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to the winning team.
 
 
1990 ENG v IND Tests

The 1990 India tour of England was a three-match Test series played in June–August 1990, followed by a 2-match ODI series. Graham Gooch led England to a 1-0 series win over India who were skippered by Mohammad Azharuddin.

This series was notable for high scores, batting feats, and the emergence of a teenage prodigy named Sachin Tendulkar.

The Key Performers were:

England

  • Graham Gooch: 456 runs in the series, including the legendary 333 at Lord’s, the highest score at the ground.
  • Robin Smith: Consistent middle-order batting, including a century in the 2nd Test.
  • Angus Fraser: Leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets.

India

  • Mohammad Azharuddin: 179 at Lord’s in the 1st Test.
  • Kapil Dev: Brilliant 77* at Lord’s (including four consecutive sixes off Eddie Hemmings to avoid the follow-on).
  • Sachin Tendulkar: Scored 119 at age 17* at The Oval — becoming the youngest Test centurion for India at the time.
