The Nawab Biography of the Legendary Cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi

This is the first-ever biography of the father-son duo, Iftikhar and Mansur Pataudi. It is written by an experienced journalist, Kishin R. Wadhwaney, who has secured unprecedented information and details to narrate the story of a fine family: The ‘nawab’ – cricket legends and Bollywood stars. It is a magnificently written book. It is a comprehensive biography. It is exhaustively researched. This is a view of half-a-dozen stars, who have had an occasion to go through the manuscript. In the words of Pradyot Lal, an excellent cricket analyst, it is a fine work, encompassing areas way beyond the narrow streets of Indian sports. Abbas Ali Baig, Mansur’s colleague, in his brief ‘foreword’ says it all about the book that is to be written. Between the two, son outclassed his father. What Mansur achieved with one eye, no other sportsperson had done it. Had he not lost vision in one eye, he would have secured unprecedented records in the annals of the game.
