The former Indian cricket team captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi died on Thursday.
Mansur was a legendary cricketer who would forever be remembered by India to lead their maiden test series victory. He was 70 year of age. Mansur died at Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi because of a severe lung infection.
Chairman of ECB paid tribute to Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, he said, “Nawab will be remembered as one of India’s greatest captains ever.”
Mansur, who had his last breath yesterday, was the ninth Nawab of Pataudi. He was educated in England. He had been captain of cricket teams of Oxford University and Sussex, other than playing for India in 46 Test matches between 1961 and 1975.
"The Nawab was a very talented batsman and fine cricketer who will be remembered as one of India’s greatest ever captains and he also made a significant contribution to the game as an administrator," Giles said.
"He will be much missed in cricketing circles both in this country and in India and we send our sympathies and condolences to his family," the chairman added.
At the burial ceremony, 15,000 people were present. Mansur’s family members bid their final goodbye to him.
Former cricket stars, Captain Kapil Dev and Ajay Jadeja were also present at the burial ceremony.
