New Delhi: Former Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, who has been hospitalised for acute lung infection, passed away on Thursday.
"His condition has deteriorated since Wednesday and he is unable to maintain his oxygen level in spite of maximum treatment. He continues to remain in the ICU (intensive care unit)," said Neeraj Jain, senior consultant and chairman of pulmonolgy (chest medicine) at Sir Gangaram Hospital in central Delhi
Pataudi, 70, was admitted to the hospital in August with acute lung infection. The condition does not allow normal passage of oxygen to both the lungs. The patient breathes out more carbon dioxide during infection.
"This disease....had been static since the last three months. It worsened very acutely over the last four weeks," Jain said.
"The possibility of lung transplant was discussed very early as soon as his condition worsened. But he was not a suitable candidate for it," he added.
Legend and arguably the first ever Indian Cricket Mega Star and also arguably best ever Indian Captain(For me the Best.)
Played 40+ International Matches and achieved so much with just One Eye.
Just presented the Pataudi Trophy in England for the Test Series, less than a month ago.
Rest In Peace.
