Indian Cricketers and their Lavish Houses: The Kings and their Fortresses

Indian Cricketers and their Lavish Houses. In India, there are many sports that are played but if we are talking about the major sport, cricket surely has to be the number one. With the huge number of viewers of the game and the increasing commercialization, it is very simple to understand that cricketers earn in leaps and bounds. The money they earn, they spend in buying luxuries stuff, like cars and bikes and houses.

While some players like to keep it simple, some of them live the life king size building almost a palace for them. Some of the houses that these cricketers live in are simply jaw-dropping for their fans and critics alike. Be it, MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, or the late MAK Pataudi, may his soul rest in peace, have an architecture to admire. In this article, we will go through some if not all the houses of famous Indian cricketers in all these years and hence the name – The Kings and their Fortresses.

Indian Cricketers and their Lavish Houses

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

The former ODI skipper of the Indian cricket team has already been marked as one of the most worth cricketers in India. The calm headed captain is known for his affection towards his hometown Ranchi and has built a beautiful house there. He himself designed the bungalow which consists of a large lawn and a swimming pool as well. Here are some outside pictures of the bungalow.

Sachin Tendulkar

Talking about houses, Tendulkar has his own ways of it just like the game of cricket. Instead of building one all over, he bought a villa and renovated it to turn that into a glamorous hide. Rumour has it, he had purchased it with 39 crores of Indian Rupee and the total area is of 6000 square feet. Situated at Bandra, things that make that villa a royal one are the pool at the terrace, a room to keep his trophies, the basement to keep Sachin’s precious cars and a surveillance room just to track all the hidden cameras and security system!

 

Sourav Ganguly

Named as the ‘Prince of Kolkata’, Sourav Ganguly does justice when it is about his home. The flamboyant former captain of the Indian side lives in Kolkata in a house that accommodates 50 members and as many as 48 rooms for them! If that is not all, the four-storey building has a cricket pitch! The entire house is decorated with lavish wooden furniture, just like the real kings, and also with a wonderful collection of flowers. And guess what? There is a special place for his most favourite 32 cars. Yes, you read that right, 32!

Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi

Well, he is a real Nawab and there is no wonder that he will be inheriting a lot of wealth and properties. Amongst all, the most beautiful one is the Pataudi Palace. Placed in Haryana, the palace leaves anyone awestruck with the architectural beauty that it has. The palace had been built by Robert Tor Russell and Austrian architect Karl Molt Von Heinz. Here is a view of the fabulous palace.
