| Mansoor Ali Khan |
It is with sadness we must report on the death of the Legendary Indian cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. The 70-year-old had been admitted on Saturday with a lung infection which he had been battling for about a month. It has been determined that he had interstitial lung disease and passed away yesterday from respiratory failure. Husband to Sharmila Tagore and father to Saif, Soha and Saba Ali Khan, he was a very respected man, many called him a true gentleman and an inspiration.
Considered one of the best cricket players ever, he played 46 Tests, 40 of them as captain, scoring 2,793 runs with six centuries and 16 fifties with an average of 34 in his 15 year long career.
