Pataudi was a much misunderstood man:
Former left-arm spinner and handy lower order batsman Bapu Nadkarni said that former India skipper Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who died in the capital today due to lung infection, was ``a much misunderstood man'' during his playing days because of his aloofness.
After creating a furore by stating that Indians are not ``large-hearted'', Pakistan`s ODI cricket captain Shahid Afridi did a volte-face, claiming that he was misunderstood and quoted out of context.
