Show Notes
It is hard to imagine a more romanticized figure in Indian cricket than Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. Cricket writer Ayaz Memon returns to the show to talk about the impact Pataudi had on Indian cricket. The conversation covers Pataudi's early days in England where he honed his cricketing education, the inescapable comparisons with his father and finally it shifts to tackle his accidental ascent to the Indian captaincy. The rest as they is history!
Pataudi's legacy goes beyond stats as he was leading a team of a newly independent country which was still trying to establish its cricket presence. Memon shares his own anecdotes and views on the great man from his numerous meetings over the years. A must listen for any student of the game.
