Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, one of India's finest captains, was laid to rest in peace at his ancestral palace in Pataudi village on Friday according to Islamic rites. He was buried within the Pataudi palace, next to his parents' graves.
Pataudi, who was 70 when he breathed his last at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, was buried next to the grave of his father, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi -- the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal.

He is survived by his wife Sharmila Tagore, his actor son Saif Ali Khan and his two daughters Soha and Saba Ali Khan.
