Yuvi buys Rs 5 crore House Near Sachin

Team India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has bought a plush 3-BHK flat in the posh suburb of Bandra. Thus, he joins fellow team-mate and master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, along with Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, who are also Bandra residents (Sachin will soon be moving to his own bungalow at the end of Turner Road and near Carter Road).

Located at Turner Road, Yuvraj's new residence Toscano is a 15-storeyed building built by B Raheja & Company.
Interestingly, this building does not have floor number 13, traditionally considered unlucky, and the elevator goes directly from the 12th to the 14th floor. Yuvraj stays on the 15th floor. His neighbours wouldn't be able to boast about Yuvraj's celebrity status as all the floors have only one flat each.

Accepting our congratulatory message, Yuvraj confirmed that he owns a flat in Toscano and the fact was reiterated by the building's watchman and a foreign occupant in the building who didn't wish to be named. The buzz is that Yuvraj was scouting around Bandra for a five-bedroom pad, but couldn't get one within his budget.

Yuvraj may not move in soon as he will be leaving for South Africa soon to play in IPL. Also no interior or civil work has begun in the flat yet, according to the society security personnel. Going by the current market rate, this 2,000 sq ft flat should have cost Yuvraj Singh something close to Rs five crore.
