Virat Kohli’s century shines, but Hardik Pandya’s Rs. 7 crore watch steals the show

While Virat Kohli’s stunning century powered Team India to victory against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy Group A clash on Sunday, it was all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s extravagant watch that grabbed social media’s attention.

Pandya played a crucial role with the ball, taking two wickets for just 31 runs in his 8-over spell. However, his eye-catching accessory—a Richard Mille RM 27-02 watch worth approximately Rs. 7 crore (USD 800,000)—became the talk of the town. Fans were left in awe of the ultra-luxury timepiece, known for its exclusivity and cutting-edge design.

Originally crafted for tennis legend Rafael Nadal, the watch features a revolutionary Carbon TPT unibody baseplate, offering unmatched shock resistance and durability. With only 50 pieces ever made, the rare timepiece is a symbol of both luxury and exclusivity.

Pandya’s affinity for luxury watches is well known, but his choice of this extraordinary model during the high-stakes match against Pakistan set social media abuzz, making his wristwear as noteworthy as his on-field performance.
