India’s excellent performance in the ICC Champions Trophy Group A match against Pakistan on Sunday saw Kohli steal the show with a century. Meanwhile, all-rounder Pandya’s $1 million watch stirred social media on Sunday. The most pivotal part of the Dream11 match was the blue and white-tifully played innings from Hardik Pandya and put up two wickets against Pakistan in eight overs while saving up to 30 runs.
Pandya’s love for luxury watches is no secret. The all-rounder was spotted at the India-Pakistan match wearing a Richard Mille RM 27-02 watch that is practically worth $800,000 (6.92 crore). The ultra-luxury watch is seldom really spotted in the pockets of the rich people worldwide. The value alone left netizens flabbergasted by the discovery of the watch.
The limited watch was reportedly originally designed for tennis great Rafael Nadal. The radical Carbon TPT baseplate never received blistering punishment like this before and remained unaffected by wear during such incidents.

In the match against Pakistan, Hardik Pandya accomplished yet another milestone by crossing 200 international wickets in one-day cricket. During the match, he was sensational, taking 2/31 in 8 overs at 3.87 acros. He took away the crucial wicket of Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, in the 204 runs, and shook/op-wicked the well- set Saud Shakeel, who made a half-century.
Of the 210 matches that Pandya has played for India, he has secured 200 at an average of 30.76 with the best of 5/28, which is his only 5-wicket haul in the match.
Pandya ranks as the 24th in terms of top wicket-takers in the history of Indian cricket, who has 200 wickets in those 216 international matches.
In Test cricket, Hardik has grabbed 17 wickets in 11 matches, with an average of 31.05 and a better of 5/28.
In 91 ODIs, Hardik bagged 89 wickets at an average of 35.26 with a best of 4/24.
In 114 T20Is, the all-rounder has gotten 94 wickets at an average of 26.43 and has picked up 4/16.
This prolongs Hardik’s fine run in each ODI versus Pakistan, having picked up 10 wickets averaging 24.60, with his best performance being 2/31.
