Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, one of India's most charismatic cricketers and a prolific batsman, died September 22, aged 70 following a lung disease.

Nicknamed “The Tiger” for his brilliant fielding in the covers, Pataudi quit Tests in 1975 with 2,793 runs in 46 matches and six centuries despite losing the sight in his right eye in a car accident in England.

He was regarded as one of India’s greatest captains who always stressed the virtues of aggression and winning despite having limited bowling resources at his disposal.
