'An emotional moment for me and my family' - Wriddhiman Saha shares heartfelt post after buying his dream car

One of India's finest wicketkeeper-batters, Wriddhiman Saha had a long-cherished dream which he has finally been able to achieve. At 39 years of age, when most cricketers are contemplating retirement, Saha has achieved a major personal milestone, purchasing his dream car, a luxurious BMW X7 worth around INR 1.4-1.5 crore.

Hailing from humble beginnings in Siliguri, he pushed up the ranks through sheer hard work and dedication. The BMW purchase is not just a material buy but a symbol of Saha's dedication and hard work over the years.

"From dreaming as a 12-year-old to realizing it at the near end of my career, bringing home this BMW is a testament that good things come to those who wait. An emotional moment for me and my family," the cricketer wrote on X.
