The Mumbai skyline is dotted with several iconic high-rises and luxury residential projects. Some of these, however, are very special because of their residents. Moreover, there are two things that every Indian swear by and avidly follows - movies and cricket. These may well be elevated to the level of religion in the country. And Omkar 1973 in Worli is the amalgamation of both.
This splendid project is a residential development by Omkar Realtors with three towers. The project has been in the news frequently because the power couple, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, live on the 35th floor of the C tower of Omkar 1973. The project is also known because it is home to the cricketing hero, Yuvraj Singh.
Yuvraj certainly loves his space. This sprawling apartment, located on the 29th floor of this high-rise, is spread over 16,000 square feet and is more of a bungalow than a regular apartment. The star cricketer shares this home with his wife, Hazel Keech, and his pet dogs. This opulent Mumbai property has an estimated market value of INR 64 crores.
A Bundle of Quirk
Much of Yuvraj Singh's apartment in Mumbai is done up in neutral shades of beige and cream, but the sportsman's love of quirk comes through in the portrait sketched wall tapestry in red and orange and the matching cushions in red and green. They stand out against the demure pastel sofa and soft shaggy carpet. The coffee table and the corner work table are made from a uniquely shaped wooden slab with light black metal frames. Like the cricketer himself, Yuvraj's home is a blend of serious and sentimental, fun and flamboyance - all at once.
Much of the home is done up to allow for a free flow of light and energy. Floor-length glass sliding panes divide the home into sections, and the most stunning among these is the backlit shelf where Yuvraj displays his books. It is a breathtakingly beautiful corner with inbuilt mood lighting and a black and white patterned wall accent. Right in front is a wood and yellow work table and chair that stands out against the black seating in the rest of the room. His trophies and awards go on a specially designed wooden ledge. More quirk!
Outdoors-Indoors
Most of Yuvraj Singh's apartment in Mumbai features light wood board flooring and darker wood wall panelling. There are some parts, though, that showcase a black-and-white marble floor. The two spaces that stand out in this home are the gymnasium and the outdoor deck. Let us explore these some more.
Yuvi's Instagram account features his home gym with chequered carpeting and a complete fitness vibe. Apart from state-of-the-art equipment, the sports star uses this large space for lifting weights and freehand workouts. The other alluring spot in this home is a large outdoor balcony deck with wooden floorboards and metal railings. The spectacular views of the Arabian Sea are one of the best features of this home.
The spacious modular kitchen, the lovely temple space, and a pebbled outdoor area – all in all, Yuvraj Singh's apartment in Mumbai exudes class, sophistication, and charm.
Conclusion
Apart from this Mumbai home, the cricketer owns several properties in Delhi, Gurgaon, and Goa. From a 5BHK luxury property in Sky Mansion, Chattarpur, to a large house in DLF City, Gurgaon, and from his magnificent holiday home in Goa to his extravagant place in Panchkula, Yuvraj lives up to his name and loves the royal life.
