Iftikhar Ali Khan
Iftikhar Ali Khan, Nawab of Pataudi, senior, (born 16 March 1910 at Pataudi, Punjab, India; died 5 January 1952, New Delhi) was an Indian cricketer who played for the English cricket team in the 1930s, before becoming captain of the Indian cricket team that toured England in 1946, making him the only Test cricketer to have played for both England and India.
He played in six Tests in all. He played his first three Tests for England: the First and Second Tests in the 1932–33 Bodyline England tour of Australia, and the First Test against Australia at Trent Bridge in 1934. Following in the footsteps of Ranjitsinhji and Duleepsinghi, Pataudi scored a century in his debut Ashes Test (also his Test debut). He was appointed captain for the India tour of England in 1936, but the tour was cancelled when Pataudi withdrew, and it was another 10 years before he lead India. He played his second three Tests for India, as captain in the India tour to England in 1946.
A right-handed batsman, Pataudi's Test batting average is quite poor, only 19.90 in 10 innings, with only one century. His batting average in first-class cricket is much more respectable, 8750 runs in 204 innigs, at an average of 48.61.
Pataudi died playing polo on his son's birthday. His son, Mansur Ali Khan, became nawab on his death, and was also an Indian Test cricket captain, known as the Nawab of Pataudi, junior.
