Sachin's new villa near Ahmedabad

The Kensville Golf and Country Club is the only functional 18-hole golf course in Gujarat which has a residential township and Sachin Tendulkar has acquired a plot there to construct a villa.

The promoters don't want to reveal the extent of the association with Tendulkar but its believed that the cricket star will be endorsing the golf academy.

Sachin Tendulkar got his first double hundred in Ahmedabad, so its not surprising that he wants to own a house in Gujarat.

"He has bought the plot for about six Lakh rupees and the total size of the plot is 1672 meters," N M Solanki, sub-registrar said.

This deal is expected to push up the real estate value in and around considerably.

"For areas around it like Bavla it indeed is good news with a star like Sachin buying a property here," Solanki said.

Sachin Tendulkar will play in the first Test against New Zealand in Ahmedabad starting 4th of November.
