Pataudi - Nawab Of Cricket English 2013

March 1962 : The Indian team to West Indies had just lost its captain, Nari Contractor, to a sickening head injury. A strapping young man, playing only his fourth test, walked out for the toss with Frank Worrell at Bridgetown. At twenty-one, he was not only the youngest member of the team, but also the youngest to captain a Test side. He had returned to playing cricket only months after an accident that left him with vision in only one eye. For the next decade, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi or "Tiger", was the undisputed "Nawab" of Indian cricket, captaining in all but six of the forty-six Tests he played, forging a national identity in a team often divided along regional lines.
