From one room tenement in Mandvi to Rs. 2.5 crore bungalow in Baroda

[fineleg]

All those towering sixes from Yusuf Pathan's blade that clinched the IPL crown for Team Jaipur and brother Irfan's wily outswingers that took Yuvraj Singh's Team Mohali to the semis counted for a lot. The Pathans will soon move into a palatial Rs 2.5 crore bungalow in Vadodara, the design for which is now ready. The Pathans' new address in Tandalja is a plush five-bedroom home spread over 15,000 square feet complete with lush green lawns and state-of-the-art interiors. It will also boast a gymnasium, a swimming pool and parking space large enought for a couple of big cars. Yusuf and Irfan, at present on a break before their ODI tour to Bangladesh next week, denied comment but their father Mehmood Khan had told TOI earlier, "We are looking for a spacious, new bungalow in the same vicinity (Tandalja). Irfan and Yusuf will need more room once they are married." The bungalow will come up not far from their present residence, a four-room house, that the family moved into three years ago following Irfan's early success. Before that, the Pathans lived in a one-room tenement behind a mosque in Mandvi where their father worked as a muezzin. A model of their new house - Picture:

Mehmood Khan Pathan, father of cricketers Yusuf and Irfan Pathan, has denied reports that his family is moving into a palatial bungalow, saying rumours were being spread because he is in a legal tussle with the trust that runs the mosque in Vadodara where he works. http://cricket.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Were_not_moving_into_big_bungalow_says_Pathans_father/articleshow/3109462.cms
