The Nawab of Pataudi wasn't even born in England but his stellar performances for Oxford University saw him play for England and then for India. However, in the annals of Worcestershire's cricketing history, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi remains a shining light and scored heavily for the county throughout his career that spanned the years between 1932 and 1938.

Pataudi was a fine stroke maker and managed to score a hundred in the six Test matches he was selected in, however, he was far more prolific for Worcestershire. In 127 first-class games, Pataudi scored 8750 runs at an excellent average of 48.61 and hammered 29 centuries. In fact, it was after his superb show for Worcestershire in the 1933 season that helped him in winning back his place in the England side.
