Whenever Ibrahim Ali Khan goes on his cricket practice, we travel back in time and remember India's greatest cricketer, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi AKA Tiger Pataudi.
Former Indian cricketer, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, also known as Tiger Pataudi is not just a name, but an emotion for many Indians, who has been worshiping cricket like a religion. He had not only played for Indian team, but was even made the captain of Indian cricket team at a young age of 21. He has been ruling the books of Indian cricket because of his courage. The cricketer had a car accident which had made him lose his vision in one eye. However, this had never stopped Tiger from 'roaring' and he had played 46 Tests for India.

We haven’t seen any other cricketer like Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, but whenever we stumble upon his grandson, Ibrahim Ali Khan’s cricket playing pictures or videos, we always remember the great legend. Just like his grandfather, Ibrahim also loves playing the gentleman's game. While he tries to stay away from the media, his cricket practice often becomes the headlines.
On October 6, 2020, Ibrahim took to his Instagram handle and shared a couple of videos of his cricket practice. In the video, we can see him swinging shots after shots and Ibrahim proudly showed off his talent on his social media handle. The videos make us wonder whether Ibrahim will take up cricket as his career like his grandfather or step into Bollywood like his father, Saif Ali Khan. After all, both cricket and acting are in his genes! Check out the screenshot of the same below:
Talking about Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's love story, the handsome cricketer had fallen in love with the glamorous star, Sharmila Tagore. They were complete opposites of each other, ruling their own kingdoms, but they had felt the instant connect when they had met for the first time in the year 1965. While they were madly in love with each other, they had to face a lot of difficulties as they were from different religions. But no force in the world can ever stop lovebirds from loving each other, similarly, Sharmila ji and Mansoor ji's love had conquered all the hurdles of life.

Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi had tied the knot in the year 1969, and their wedding was the most talked affair in the country. However, not many know that before tying the knot, Sharmila ji had put forward a special condition to marry Mansoor ji. Yes, it is true! According to media reports, Shamila ji had asked Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi to hit a hat-trick of sixes in a match to which the legendary cricketer had agreed.
We all know Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's divorce had created a gap in the family. However, Saif has always tried hard to give equal importance to his kids, Sara, Ibrahim and Taimur. In an interview with the Bollywood Hungama, he had said, "I am always there for them. I love and adore all my three children. It’s true that I spend a lot of time with Taimur. But I am constantly connected with my elder son Ibrahim and my daughter Sara. All my three children have different places in my heart. If I am hurt with Sara about something, Taimur can’t make me feel better about it. Every time you have a child you divide your heart. And they are all different in age. I feel each of my three children require a different kind of connect. I could have long chat on the phone or have dinner with Sara or Ibrahim which I can’t do with Taimur."
