Our salutes to Nawab Pataudi.

He was a confident captain as Ganguly but in 1960's, about 50 years back. As batsman gutsy and unorthodox like Dhoni. He was an excellent fielder in covers and best spinners of his time like Bishen Singh bedi preferred Pataudi(agile like Tiger) in covers when they bowled.




His captaincy and batsmanship should be acknowledged more than recent captains as India's performance in tests was pretty bad about 50 years back. India could never hardly manage winning tests and had never won a test series on foreign soil. 

Pataudi was the first captain to show the way. He lead India to its first ever overseas series win in New Zealand.
Like Ganguly he was aggressive and believed that India can win offshore.

One of the most confident and bold(like TIGER his nick name) batsman and as accepted by most cricketers, BEST CAPTAIN of Indian cricket history..
