Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar paid 350 million rupees ($8.2 million) for a Mumbai bungalow, the Mumbai Mirror reported, citing people it didn’t identify.
Tendulkar, who first played for India in 1989 at the age of 16 years and holds the world record for centuries in test cricket, acquired the villa in the north-central suburb of Bandra from Satra Group, the newspaper reported, citing Vijay Satra, a director with Satra Properties India Ltd.
The cricketer plans to demolish the two-storey, 9,000- square-foot dwelling and replace the 80-year-old villa with a new building, the newspaper reported, citing an unidentified person.
Property prices in Bandra have more than doubled over the past three years, according to Knight Frank LLP.
The neighborhood is likely to get a new bridge by January across a strip of sea to Worli in central Mumbai to reduce traffic congestion.
