former Indian cricket captain died of a lung aliment at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi on Sept 22, 2011. He had donated his left eye before his death.

Pataudi, known as 'Tiger', lost his right eye in an accident, when he was 20. But that didn't take his confidence out of him. Post that accident, Pataudi played 46 Tests between 1961 and 1975 and is regarded as one of India's greatest captains, who over came his visual challenges.
