Sharma’s apartment is on the 29th floor of the 53-storey Ahuja Towers, which houses known names from the corporate and banking industry. Apart from the view of the Arabian sea, the apartment offers a 270-degree view of the Bandra-Worli sea link and many parts of the city. Sharma is one of the most expensive players in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In 2015, with a bid price of Rs 12.5 crore, he became the second most expensive player along with MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, following Yuvraj Singh at Rs 16 crore. Sharma captains Mumbai Indians in the IPL and holds a handful of records in the game. He is the highest individual scorer in ODIs (he made 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in 2014). He is also the only player to hit two double hundreds in ODIs.

This has been a year of personal milestones for Sharma. In May, he got engaged to his friend and manager, Ritika Sajdeh. The spokesperson of Ahuja Constructions as well as Sharma’s manager Bunty Sajdeh, CEO Cornerstone Sports & Entertainment, confirmed his purchase of the apartment but declined to share details.

The 250-metre tall skyscraper that recently received the Occupation Certificate and is ready for possession is designed by Palmer & Turner Architects, Singapore. The tower has amenities like concierge service from Quintessentially, chef on demand, mini-theatre, gym, swimming pool, sky café and a cigar room.

According to property consultants, the price Sharma paid is in line with market expectations.
