Heartwarming memories and Pataudi cricketing legacy recalled
Beyond the food and warmth, Sara shared that the visit was made even more special by the stories Ganguly told her about her grandfather, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, himself a former India captain Ganguly reminisced about moments from the Pataudi family’s past, including a heartwarming anecdote about Sara’s grandmother following her grandfather’s team bus in a taxi—details even Sara hadn’t heard before.
“Woh toh hume chutkule suna rahe the humare dada ji ke bare mai. Itna accha laga unse milkar aur batein sunkar. (He was telling us jokes about my grandfather. It felt very good to meet him and hear from him). He was even telling me moments of my own grandparents’ love story that I did not know myself that how my dadi used to follow in taxis behind the buses that all the cricketers would go in. So it was really lovely to sit and hear from him,” Sara concluded.
