A republican prince

Pataudi was a legend when he started. His pedigree, flair, and epic disregard for his handicap, spoke to the anxieties and aspirations of a young India and to its hunger for heroes

23-Sep-2011•Mukul Kesavan

A man of opposites

Aloof yet witty, plain but direct, regal yet casual. MAK Pataudi was so many contradictory things that eventually you stopped trying to classify him

'An innings played with one leg and one eye'

The man who became legspin

Apartheid prevented Barry Richards from becoming a batting superstar, the next Bradman, even

The original transformer

Imran was at the heart of shaping modern-day Pakistan cricket, and all we love about the team and their play can be traced back to him

31-Oct-2010•Osman Samiuddin
