Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi

Mansoor Ali Khan or Mansur Ali Khan sometimes M. A. K. Pataudi , nicknamed Tiger Pataudi, was an Indian cricketer and former captain of the Indian cricket team. He was the titular Nawab of Pataudi from 1952 until 1971, when by the 26th Amendment to the Constitution of India the privy purses of the princes were abolished and official recognition of their titles came to an end. He has been described as Indias greatest cricket captain. He was appointed captain of the Indian team at the age ofeven though several other players were more experienced. His princely lineage rather than cricketing skills may have had more to do with the decision. He is said to have preferred hobnobbing with the white cricketers to talking with brown skinned members of his own team, some of whom were less than fluent in English.

Mansoor Ali Khan was the son of Iftikhar Ali Khan, himself a renowned cricketer. He was born in Bhopal and educated at Minto Circle in Aligarh and then went to Welham Boys School in Dehradun , Lockers Park Prep School in Hertfordshire , and Winchester College.
