The North Indians respectfully calls their elder brother as Bhaiya or Bhai Sahab. In the same way East Indians specially Bengali calls their elder brother as Dada. Saurav Ganguli is a Bengali that is why he is called Dada.

Bengali address their elder brother as Dada out of respect. Saurav Ganguli is a Bengali so people started calling him Dada instead of calling him Saurav Bhai or Saurav sir etc.

Dada is the nick name given to Ganguly by Bengalis. Dada means big brother in Bengali. Since he started performing very well, Bengalis started calling him fondly as DADA
