My grandfather still talks about watching Tiger Pataudi play! He was a revolutionary captain who changed Indian cricket forever. Great to see his legacy being carried forward by his children.

The tradition of Quran khwani and sadqa that Saba mentioned is such a meaningful way to honor her father's memory. It's beautiful how different families preserve their cultural and religious traditions while remembering loved ones.

While the tributes are heartfelt, I wish media would focus more on Pataudi's cricketing achievements rather than just family posts. He was India's youngest captain and played with one eye - that's the real inspiration!
