Quiz! Match these Indian tournaments to the personality they were named after

The naming of cricket tournaments is usually an exercise in homage to the past. The most notable exception to this rule is The Ashes, which received its name when Test cricket was less than a decade old. Since then, various international bilateral series have been named in honour of legends from one or both countries – Frank Worrell Trophy, Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Sobers-Tissera Trophy, Wisden Trophy and so on.
