Ibrahim Ali Khan playing cricket makes us travel back in time and reminds us of his grandad, ace cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. Recently, some pictures show him taking to the crease and swinging a few shots. Dressed in casuals, we see Ibrahim concentrate on his game.

The late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi has been described as one of "India's greatest cricket captains". His son and Ibrahim’s dad Saif Ali Khan took to his mother Sharmila Tagore’s interests and chose acting as his profession. Though Ibrahim has largely stayed out of the public eye, the photos make us wonder whether he is going to take up cricket as his career or step into Bollywood like his sister Sara Ali Khan. After all, both cricket and acting are in his genes!

Time to aim for a perfect shot.

Seems like the game is over.
