Saurav Ganguly owns a Mercedes-Benz
Sourav Ganguly, known as the Prince of Calcutta, served as the captain who instilled a sense of belief in the Indian cricket team, leading them to triumph in major tournaments in both test matches and ODIs. His aggressive batting style translated into his captaincy, enabling India to challenge Steve Waugh’s formidable team in 2001 and conquer new frontiers. Under Ganguly’s leadership, India also reached the finals of the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
During his upbringing in Kolkata, Ganguly resided in an expansive ancestral home that boasted 48 rooms and housed his extended family. The grandeur of the family residence extended to a collection of 32 cars. However, in his current role as a commentator, Ganguly can often be seen driving either a Mercedes CLK or a Ford Endeavour. Fondly referred to as “Dada” by his fans, he is frequently spotted in his two preferred daily vehicles – a Honda City ZX and a C-Class convertible, as pictured above.
