The mega-clash of Champions Trophy 2025 between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium was full of exciting events. With India's tremendous bowling performance before Virat Kohli sealed the deal for the Men in Blue with a century, it was Hardik Pandya's wristwear which caught the limelight of the fans. Pandya dismissed former Pakistan captain Babar Azam with a beautiful delivery and his ultra-luxurious Richard Mille RM 27-02 watch came to notice of everyone.
The limited edition watch is reportedly valued at $800,000 (approx. Rs 6.92 crore). Times of India (TOI) and Economic Times have already reported the price of the watch nearly Rs 7 crore. The watch was designed for tennis legend Rafael Nadal and is known for its revolutionary Carbon TPT unibody baseplate, ensuring extreme shock resistance and durability.
More details about his watch
Hardik Pandya's exclusive limited-edition timepiece, with only 50 pieces available globally, is a testament to exceptional horological craftsmanship. Engineered for durability and high performance, it features a striking white quartz case paired with a blue elastic strap, a fixed white quartz bezel, and a black dial accented by silver-tone hands and index hour markers. Luminescent hands and markers enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
Powered by the advanced Richard Mille Calibre CRMA7 automatic movement, this watch delivers a 50-hour power reserve. Additional standout features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, a transparent case back, and the brand’s signature tonneau-shaped case. Seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with avant-garde aesthetics, this masterpiece is a perfect reflection of Pandya’s refined taste.
India with back to back wins
Coming back to the match, star India batter Virat Kohli showcased his penchant to lord over Pakistan in ICC tournaments once more as the batting icon's glittering unbeaten 100 helped India claim an authoritative six-wicket win over their traditional rivals and all but seal a semifinal spot in the Champions Trophy on Sunday.
The victory should be enough for India, who are now on top of Group A with four points, to make the last four. However, Pakistan are staring at early elimination from the eight-team event after their second successive loss.
