Tiger Patudi is no more.

He captained India's first overseas test match win and test series win! A Madhya Madhya Pradesh native, his mom was from Royal family of Bhopal.

RIP!!

He doesn't belong to my days of watching cricket. He preceded that time. Hence, no idea about his cricket skills. Know him from the suitings ad, sharmila Tagore and controversy in killing endengered animals.
He is a great symbol of someone that can achieve in life inspite of physical disabilities. May his soul rest in peace!

I am a big fan. May his soul rest in peace.

Not to get into another in-laws discussion. However, how does it make him a Madhya Pradesh native. He and his father were from Pataudi near Gurgaon, in Haryana. He was born in Bhopal at his mother's parents house, which is the norm in India, but that does not make someone a native of their maternal grandparents place.

I read the above as his mother was a Madhya Pradesh native as she was from Bhopal's royal family. :)

Quite a lot of wealth outside of India as well !! Interesting to see a daughter (not a son or nephew) in charge of the estate as the executor of the will.

[QUOTE]Bhopal: After the death of her father Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, his youngest daughter Saba Ali Khan has been officially designated as the custodian of a trust that takes care of huge properties spread from Bhopal to Saudi Arabia, official sources said on Sunday.
Madhya Pradesh Wakf Board, after receiving a letter of request from Saba for claiming the post, has officially designated her as Mutawalli of Aukaf-e-Shahi Trust, they said.
The huge properties that comes under the royal trust include grand mosques, religious structures, the famous dargah of Sufi saint Baba Peer Fatehullah at Raisen, charitable institutions, graveyards and the Rubaats (shelters) for Haj
pilgrims in Saudi Arabia.

Earlier, when late Pataudi had visited Bhopal few months back, he had named Saba as his Naib Mutawalli (deputy) and took her around all the properties which she was supposed to look after in his absence.
Though these assets are worth billions of rupees, they are Wakf properties and therefore her role will be more of a supervisory nature, the sources added.
