The city is Sangli, a hundred kilometers from the nearest airport. An hour’s drive along the golden fields of rural Maharashtra leads you to international cricket icon Smriti Mandhana’s hometown, her home and her life, and it draws a beautiful contrast against the bright lights of the game.
It’s simple, really: two apartments on one floor combined to give the family room and space. What’s not simple is the journey it took to get here: international women’s cricket has seen an explosion in visibility in recent years that has rightfully changed the game for young cricketers like Smriti in India.
The core of the home is the shared living space that the family spends time in together: card games are a staple, and there’s a projector to view cricket matches on. Decor is tasteful — muted colours, textured walls, and clean lines.
There is a clear focus on Smriti and her career: a TV room that is now a home gym, a textured wall that has been cleared to create a simple studio for Instagram shoots, a trophy wall that takes up the entire length of a wall in the living room. It’s a thing of beauty to see how Smriti and her family are united in this vision for her career.
Smriti Mandhana’s home is a true testament not just of her grit, discipline and skill, but of the love and affection between her and her family.
