The nephew of Tiger Pataudi

Writing in his blog Stumped, V Ramnarayan reflects on the unfulfilled talent of Saad Bin Jung, who as a 16-year old hit a fearless hundred against Malcolm Marshall and Vanburn Holder.

Part of the blame must lie with him, because he perhaps got carried away by all his early success and began to focus less on cricket than the trappings going with it. The administration too was perhaps unhelpful; and uncaring, and instead of nurturing an unusual talent, came down heavily on him when he did not toe the line. An extremely promising career got cut even before establishing itself.
