To commemorate the 75th anniversary of India's first Test match in 1932, Marylebone Cricket Club commissioned a new trophy in 2007. Jocelyn Burton, a London silversmith, created the award at her Holborn studio. At Jocelyn's show in November & December 2012 at Bentley & Skinner in London, the Trophy was on display. To hold the Pataudi Trophy, a team must win a series. In the event of a tie, the previous winners keep the trophy. India has won one full Pataudi Trophy series, England has won three, and one series has ended in a tie.

2007 Series

The national cricket team of India visited England from July 19 until September 8, 2007. There were 3 Test matches and 7 ODIs during the tour. The Pataudi Trophy, a trophy created by the MCC to mark the 118th anniversary of India's Test debut, was up for grabs during the Test series. Jocelyn Burton, of Holborn, London, was the designer and maker of this.

Chris Tremlett played in his first England Test game during the first Test at Lord's. After winning the toss, Michael Vaughan decided to bat first. Rain prevented the evening session, which resulted in a tie for the Test. For his (134) century, Pietersen received the man of the match award. India won the toss for the second Test and decided to bowl on damp ground from recent rains. The Indian victory was assured with runs from Ganguly and Dravid of 2 and 11, respectively. Because of his nine wickets throughout the game, Zaheer Khan was named man of the match.

India, which had won the toss for the third Test, decided to bat first on a flat pitch that turned out to be ideal for batting. It was an unusual occurrence that both sides used the same 11 players per side for every game of the series because both squads remained unaltered from the Trent Bridge Test. This contest was a draw. For the first time since 1986, India has won a series in England with a 1-0 triumph. The series had been excellent overall, with two evenly matched teams playing well against one another.

2011 Series

From July 21 to September 16, 2011, the Indian cricket team visited England. The tour included many games against English county teams as well as one Twenty20, five ODI, and four Test matches. The 2,000th Test was played in the first match at Lord's. The Third Test victory propelled England to the top of the global rankings.

The Test series was won by England 4-0, their third rout in the series including more than three Test matches. England replaced India at the top of the ICC Test Championship after winning the series by a margin of more than two matches, while India fell to third. Rahul Dravid, who hit three hundred, and England's Stuart Broad, who took 25 wickets in the series, were the series' top performers.

2014 Series

From June 22 to September 7, 2014, the India national cricket team visited England for a five-match Test series, five ODI games, and one Twenty20 International. The Pataudi Trophy was awarded to England for winning the Test series 3-1. India played five Test matches during their England visit for the first time since 1959. The third Test was the first Test match to begin on a Sunday in England, and it took place at Southampton's Rose Bowl.

2018 Series

During July and September 2018, the Indian cricket team traveled to England to compete in five Tests, three ODIs, and three T20 Internationals. Moreover, in July in Chelmsford, India faced off against Essex in a three-day encounter.

The 1,000th Test played by the England team made them the first team to accomplish this milestone. The trip began on August 1 at Edgbaston. Alastair Cook of England announced that he would stop playing international cricket when the series was over before the fifth Test. Cook struck a century in the second inning of the fifth Test, becoming just the seventh batter to do so in both his debut and last Test appearances.

In the process, he passed Kumar Sangakkara to move up to fifth place on the list of all-time highest run scorers in Test cricket. James Anderson surpassed Glenn McGrath's record of 563 Test wickets by taking his 564th one in the same game. The Test series ended with a 4-1 victory for England.

2021 Series

In August and September 2021, the India cricket team toured England & played five (5) Test matches. The Test series served as the opening contests of the ICC World Test Championship 2021–2023. The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was asked by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to change the tour's itinerary in May 2021 so that it would accommodate the remaining games of the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL).

A change would, however, affect tickets that were previously sold and require the rescheduling of games in The Hundred. The third Test's second day included black armbands worn by England players in honor of the late former England cricketer Ted Dexter, who passed away on August 25, 2021. In the same way, Indian players donned black armbands on the first day of the fourth Test in honor of late cricketer Vasoo Paranjape, who passed away on August 30, 2021.

When more than two days of play were missed due to rain throughout the match, the first Test of the series concluded in a tie. India earned a 151-run victory in the second Test to grab a 1-0 series lead. The victory came in the closing hour of the fifth day. During the lunch break on day four of the third Test, England had won by innings and 76 runs, leveling the series at one. Joe Root now holds the record for most victories as England's Test cricket captain with 27. India defeated England by 157 runs in the fourth Test to take a 2-1 series lead with one game remaining.

After positive COVID-19 outcomes in the Indian squad, the cricket boards announced on the morning of the fifth Test of the series that the game will not begin on September 10, 2021. The ECB subsequently released a statement informing the public that the Test match had been postponed due to India's inability to field a team. A clarification on the outcome of the series was addressed to Chris Broad, the match referee, and the ICC. In a statement, the BCCI stated that they were coordinating with the ECB to reschedule the game. The ECB stated in September 2021 that India will play a lone Test match in 2022 before playing England in limited-overs contests.

The ECB confirmed that the fate of the Test series will be decided by a rescheduled match next month. The fifth Test ended with England winning by seven wickets after being given a 378-run target, setting a record for the best run chase in a Test match. The five-match series ended in a 2-2 draw.
