[[Nawab]] '''Mohammad Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi''' (also known as '''Mansur Ali Khan''', or '''M. A. K. Pataudi'''; 5 January 1941 – 22 September 2011; nicknamed '''Tiger Pataudi''') was an Indian [[cricketer]] and a former captain of the [[Indian cricket team]].

Pataudi was appointed India's cricket captain at the age of 21, and described as "one of (its) greatest".<ref>{{cite news |title=A passage to Mayfair |url=https://www.economist.com/news/britain/21582254-indias-super-rich-elite-are-colonising-heart-former-british-empire-passage |newspaper=[[The Economist]] |date=27 July 2013}}</ref> Pataudi was also called the "best fielder in the world" of his time by commentator [[John Arlott]] and former England captain and contemporary, [[Ted Dexter]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Dexter dubs Pataudi world's best fieldsman |work=The Indian Express |page=10 |date=29 August 1963}}</ref>

Mansur Ali Khan was the son of [[Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi]], the last ruler of the [[princely state]] of [[Pataudi State|Pataudi]] during the [[British Raj]]. After the death of his father in 1952, Pataudi succeeded him in receiving a [[Privy purse in India|privy purse]], certain privileges, and the use of the title "Nawab of Pataudi" under terms accepted earlier when princely states were [[political integration of India|absorbed]] into independent India.<ref name=ramusack-pol-integration>{{cite book |last=Ramusack |first=Barbara N. |authorlink=Barbara Ramusack |title=The Indian princes and their states |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kz1-mtazYqEC&pg=PA273 |year=2004 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-26727-4 |page=273 |quote=The crucial document was the Instrument of Accession by which rulers ceded to the legislatures of India or Pakistan control over defence, external affairs, and communications.

By December 1947 Patel began to pressure the princes into signing Merger Agreements that integrated their states into adjacent British Indian provinces, soon to be called states or new units of erstwhile princely states, most notably Rajasthan, Patiala and East Punjab States Union, and Matsya Union (Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur and Karaulli).}}</ref> However, all were ended in 1971 by the [[Privy Purse in India#Abolition|26th Amendment to the Constitution of India]].<ref>{{Citation |url=https://www.india.gov.in/my-government/constitution-india/amendments/constitution-india-twenty-sixth-amendment-act-1971 |title=The Constitution (26 Amendment) Act, 1971 |publisher=Government of India |work=indiacode.nic.in |year=1971|access-date=9 November 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Ramusack |first=Barbara N.|author-link=Barbara Ramusack |title=The Indian princes and their states |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kz1-mtazYqEC&pg=PA278 |year=2004 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-26727-4 |page=278 |quote=Through a constitutional amendment passed in 1971, Indira Gandhi stripped the princes of the '''titles''', privy purses and regal privileges which her father's government had granted.}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Schmidt |first=Karl J. |title=An atlas and survey of South Asian history |url=https://archive.org/details/atlassurveyofsou0000schm|url-access=registration |year=1995 |publisher=M.E.

His grandfather, [[Hamidullah Khan]], was the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal, and his aunt, [[Abida Sultan]], was the princess of Bhopal. [[Kaikhusrau Jahan, Begum of Bhopal|Kaikhusrau Jahan]], the Begum of Bhopal, was his great-grandmother, and [[Shahryar Khan]], the chairman of [[Pakistan Cricket Board]], was his first cousin. He was the former Nawab of [[Bhopal State]] and [[Pataudi State]]. The Pataudi family traces their origin to Faiz Talab Khan, an ethnic [[Pashtuns|Pashtun]] from the [[Barech]] tribe of [[Kandahar Province|Kandahar]], [[Afghanistan]], who became the first Nawab of the Pataudi State in 1804.<ref name=hindu>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130316043409/http://www.hindu.com/mag/2003/08/03/stories/2003080300740800.htm The Hindu, Sunday, 3 Aug 2003 - ''Royal vignettes: Pataudi: The Afghan connection'']</ref>

He was educated at [[Minto Circle]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.indiaonline.in/about/Personalities/Cricketers/Mansoor-Ali-Khan-Pataudi.html |title=Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi: Biography, Facts, Life Story}}</ref> in [[Aligarh]] and [[Welham Boys' School]] in [[Dehradun]] ([[Uttarakhand]]), [[Lockers Park Prep School]] in Hertfordshire (where he was coached by [[Frank Woolley]]), and [[Winchester College]]. He read Arabic and French at [[Balliol College, Oxford]].<ref name="dtobit"/>

His father died while playing polo in Delhi on Mansoor's eleventh birthday in 1952, whereupon Mansoor succeeded him as the ninth [[Nawab]]. Although the [[princely state]] of Pataudi had been merged with India after the end of the [[British Raj]] in 1947, he held the title until the entitlements were abolished by the Government of India through the [[List of amendments of the Constitution of India|26th amendment to the constitution]] in 1971.

==Cricketing career==
[[File:Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi graph.png|left|thumb|350px|Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's career performance graph.]]
Pataudi Jr., as Mansoor came to be known during his cricket career, was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium pace bowler.<ref name="cricprof">[http://content.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/32222.html Cricinfo – Nawab of Patudi]</ref> He was a schoolboy batting prodigy at Winchester, relying on his keen eyes to punish the bowling. He captained the school team in 1959, scoring 1,068 runs that season, beating the school record set in 1919 by [[Douglas Jardine]]. He also won the public schools rackets championship, with partner Christopher Snell.<ref name="dtobit"/>

He made his first-class debut for Sussex in August 1957, aged 16, and also played for Oxford while he was at university and was the first Indian captain there.<ref>{{cite news |title=King of Indian cricket |url=https://www.economist.com/node/21530944 |newspaper=[[The Economist]] |date=1 October 2011 |access-date=30 August 2012}}</ref> On 1 July 1961, he was a passenger in a car which was involved in an accident in [[Hove]].

The damage caused Pataudi to see a doubled image, and it was feared this would end his cricketing career, but Pataudi was soon in the nets, learning to play with one eye.<ref name="dtobit">[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/sport-obituaries/8785423/The-Nawab-of-Pataudi.html Obituary], The Daily Telegraph, 23 September 2011</ref><ref name="ss">[http://www.rediff.com/sports/oct/13a.htm 'Captaincy has not changed... only the pressures have...']</ref><ref name="sst">[http://www.hindu.com/tss/tss2518/25180300.htm Barbadose by dose] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110926214131/http://www.hindu.com/tss/tss2518/25180300.htm |date=26 September 2011 }} SPORTSTAR Vol. 25 :: No. 18 :: 4–10 May. 2002</ref>

He returned to the India side captained by [[Ajit Wadekar]] in 1973, for the Third Test against England, and captained India against West Indies in 1974–5, but was finally dropped as a player in 1975.

Between 1957 and 1970 Mansoor, following his countrymen [[Ranjitsinhji]] and [[Duleepsinhji]], played 137 first class matches for [[Sussex County Cricket Club]] scoring 3,054 runs at an average of 22.29.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Wisden Book of County Cricket |author=Christopher Martin-Jenkins |year=1981 |location=[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]] |page=373 |isbn=0-362-00545-1| author-link=Christopher Martin-Jenkins}}</ref> He captained Sussex in 1966.
