As per the latest developments, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has bought a new mansion for about INR 40 crore in central Kolkata.

Speaking of his new purchase, the veteran stated it would be easy for him to commute while residing in Lower Rawdon Street. “I am happy to have my own home.

Meanwhile, this news spread like wildfire as the local residents are excited to welcome ‘Dada.

“We are very happy that dada will be with us, he will stay here, we are overwhelmed and we will welcome him,” Parimal Roy, who has a shop in this region, was quoted as saying by News18.
