When India toured Australia in 1967-68, Ian Chappell wanted to learn more about Tiger Pataudi, the Indian captain.
One day he went up to him and asked, âTiger, what do you do for a job?â
Tiger replied, “Ian, Iâm a prince.”
Chappell did not have much clue about the ways of royalties and so he asked Tiger the kind of âjobâ he did to make a living.
Tiger again replied, âIan, I am a prince.”
Chappell replied, âI think my parents should have demanded a refund on my education because the message still didnât get through to me as he framed his question different to ask Tiger a third time!”
âI mean, between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm what do you do?â
Tiger looked at Chappell said, âIan, Iâm a f*****g prince!â
