The term Nawab of Pataudi may refer to any of a Turkic lineage of rulers of the princely Pataudi State in India, but most commonly refers to the 8th Nawab, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, who played cricket for both England and India. Both he and his son the 9th Nawabcaptained the Indian cricket team.
A Nawab was originally the provincial governor or viceroy of a province or region of the Mughal empire. Since, most of the Muslim rulers of the subcontinent had accepted the authority of the Mughals, the term Nawab is generally understood to mean any Muslim ruler in the subcontinent. Under British rule, Nawabs ruled several princely states including Pataudi.
The Pataudi Palace is now a heritage hotel.
