Former Indian cricket star Shikhar Dhawan, fondly known as ‘Gabbar’ by fans, has made headlines once again—this time off the field. The stylish southpaw has invested in one of Gurugram’s most high-profile residential properties—DLF’s The Dahlias—by purchasing an ultra-luxurious apartment worth nearly ₹69 crore.

A Grand Purchase in Gurugram’s Poshest Locale
According to property transaction documents accessed by real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix, Dhawan acquired the luxury residence for a base price of ₹65.61 crore, with the total outlay amounting to ₹68.89 crore after stamp duty and registration. The stamp duty alone cost him a hefty ₹3.24 crore.
The apartment, sprawling across 6,040 sq ft, is located in Sector 54, Golf Course Road, one of the most premium addresses in Gurugram. It comes with five dedicated car parking spaces, and the transaction was officially registered on February 4, 2025.
With a per-square-foot rate of approximately ₹1.08 lakh, this deal marks a new benchmark even in the elite category of Indian real estate.

The Dahlias – A New Jewel in DLF’s Crown
DLF, one of India’s leading luxury real estate developers, had earlier revealed that it sold 173 residences at The Dahlias in a record time of just nine weeks, generating ₹11,816 crore. These figures reflect the project’s immense popularity among ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs), including prominent CEOs and NRIs.
Planned as an ultra-luxe offering even beyond the standards set by DLF’s previous flagship project, The Camellias, The Dahlias promises a new level of opulence. While Camellias took nearly a decade to achieve sell-out status, The Dahlias accomplished a similar feat in mere weeks, reflecting the shift in demand among India’s elite.
The Dahlias will offer approximately 7.5 million sq ft of developed space, housing 420 residences spread across 8 high-rise towers and 29 floors. A highlight includes 15 exclusive duplex penthouses, each sprawling across approximately 350,000 sq ft.
According to Aakash Ohri, Joint Managing Director at DLF Home Developers, the apartments start at around 10,000 sq ft, with penthouses reaching up to 19,000 sq ft. Two of these penthouses have reportedly been sold for ₹150 crore each.

What Makes The Dahlias So Exclusive?
The residences at The Dahlias are designed with expansive 4-meter floor-to-ceiling heights, large outdoor decks, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. The project is set amidst the DLF5 Golf Links community and overlooks a proposed Lake Park, promising serene views and a resort-like lifestyle.
The apartments are being delivered in a bare-shell format, allowing homeowners to customize interiors to their exact taste and vision. The completion timeline for the project is approximately four years from its anticipated mid-2025 launch.
Dhawan’s Real Estate Portfolio
Shikhar Dhawan, who announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in August 2024, has had a knack for high-value property investments. Apart from this latest acquisition, he reportedly owns a house in Australia, purchased in 2015 for $730,000, and a stylish bungalow in Delhi, valued at over ₹5 crore.
Final Thoughts
While Dhawan’s on-field heroics have earned him accolades, it’s clear that his off-field investments are equally calculated and headline-worthy. His latest purchase in The Dahlias places him among India’s most discerning luxury homebuyers, signaling the rising appetite for opulence among the country’s sporting icons.
