Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi was a cricketer and a former captain of the Indian cricket team. The Nawab of Pataudi - later Mansoor Ali Khan - took over as captain at the age of 21, barely months after being involved in a car accident that impaired the sight in his right eye forever. He led India in 40 of 46 Tests he played in, and won 9 of them. He passed away on September 22, 2011.

Saba Pataudi frequently shares precious throwback moments of her family on social media. Here's another vintage photo with her dad:

Once, talking about Mansoor Ali Khan in an interview with IANS, Saif said, "If he didn't want to tour, he would say he wasn't available. He said it was a game and he was losing interest in the game in the '60s because he thought there was too much cricket."

On the work front, Saif Ali Khan was recently seen in the horror-comedy 'Bhoot Police', and has films like 'Bunty Air Babli 2' and 'Adipurush' in the pipeline.
