Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma has leased out his apartment in Lower Parel, Mumbai, for Rs. 2.6 lakh per month. The transaction was registered in January 2025.

The apartment is situated in Lodha Marquise – The Park, a luxury residential project by Macrotech Developers Limited (Lodha Group), spanning 7 acres. The 1,298 sq. ft. unit comes with two car parking spaces. The lease transaction incurred a stamp duty of Rs. 16,300 and registration charges of Rs. 1,000.

Square Yards' analysis of IGR property records reveals that Sharma and his father, Gurunath Sharma, purchased this apartment in March 2013 for Rs. 54.6 million. With the current rental agreement fetching Rs. 2.6 lakh per month, the property reflects a 6% rental yield.

Notably, the father-son duo also owns another apartment in the same complex, bought in 2013 for Rs. 5.70 crore. This property was rented out in October 2024 for Rs. 2.65 lakh per month.

Lower Parel remains one of Mumbai’s premium residential and commercial hubs, offering seamless connectivity to business districts like Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and Nariman Point.

Rohit Sharma, often called the "Hitman" of Indian cricket, holds multiple records, including the highest individual ODI score (264) and three double centuries in ODIs. As captain, he has led Mumbai Indians to multiple IPL titles and played key roles in India’s 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and 2018 Asia Cup victories. Honoured with the Arjuna Award (2015) and Khel Ratna (2020), he continues to excel as India's captain, blending masterful batting with strategic leadership.
