Foreign player to deliver Pataudi lecture for 1st time ever
South Africa-born former England captain Kevin Pietersen is set to become the first ever foreign player to deliver the annual MAK Pataudi Memorial Lecture on June 12 in Bengaluru. Previous speakers include former India cricketers, Sunil Gavaskar, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid and Farokh Engineer. The BCCI General Manager's choice has reportedly angered a few top BCCI officials.
