After coming out from the meeting, Sourav Ganguly said, “This was just a courtesy call. The governor said he wanted to visit Eden Gardens and meet me.

Mr Dhankar tweeted photos of himself with Sourav Ganguly. "Had interaction with 'Dada' @SGanguly99 President @BCCI at Raj Bhawan today (Sunday) at 4.30 pm on varied issues. Accepted his offer for a visit to Eden Gardens, oldest cricket ground in the country established in 1864," the governor tweeted.
