Saif Ali Khan’s father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi was a living giant in the world of cricket with countless accolades and honours to his name. His cricketing genius was showcased right at an early age, as a result of which he was declared the captain of the Indian Cricket Team when he was barely 21.
However, his cricketing career was made to come to a halt when in 1961 he met with a car accident, that left his right eye damaged by a shard of glass from the windscreen.

Thereafter, he created records in the cricketing world with his one-eyed focus and immense confidence.
