Welcome to World's Sizzle!: Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi funeral

Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, or M.A.K. Pataudi (5 January 1941, Bhopal - 22 September 2011, New Delhi), nicknamed Tiger Pataudi, was an Indian cricketer and one-time captain of the Indian cricket team. He was the ninth and last Nawab of Pataudi until 1971, when India abolished royal entitlements through the 26th Amendment to the Constitution of India.

Pataudi, 70, was admitted to New Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on 22 September 2011 with an acute lung infection. The infection was caused by chronic interstitial lung disease which prevented his lungs from exchanging oxygen properly. He died of respiratory failure on 22 September 2011 at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. His burial took place at Pataudi near Delhi on 23 September 2011.

Pataudi was the father of Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan; and husband of actress Sharmila Tagore. His other daughter Saba Ali Khan is a jewellery designer.
