I have never seen Pataudi play (I am not yet that old!). But I have heard lots of stories on how great a captain he was. Given India were a poor team during his time, his 7 victories are great. He is credited with making India play as a team. His death prompted many older cricket journalists to remember him fondly.
Here is Mukul Kesavan on the great man!
Oh btw. did I tell he was the first cricket rockstar. Must be hard for all of us people who grew up seeing Sachin (and Dhoni for the younger generation).
More quotes from his contemporaries!
