Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi ruled over world cricket with one good eye. He is no more but the eye will continue to live, because the legendary cricketer had decided to donate it. His left eye having been retrieved within hours after his death on September 22, 2011 – with the family’s consent – was preserved in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital’s eye bank. Pataudi’s right eye was damaged permanently in a car accident when he was 20 years old. The 70-year-old cricketer (husband of actor Sharmila Tagore and father of actor Saif Ali Khan) was diagnosed with a debilitating lung infection a few months ago
