Former Indian Captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi lost his right eye in a car crash at the age of 20. He was a student at Oxford University when a shard of glass flew into it after a car crash. Many experts are of the opinion that had he not lost his right eye in a car crash, he would have been one of the greatest batsmen ever.
However, this didn’t prevent him from pursuing his passion as he continued to play for India. He played with vision in just one eye but it never affected his game. Under his leadership, India registered its first-ever Test series win overseas in New Zealand in 1968.
