India vs Pakistan: Hardik Pandya’s bowling magic and Million-Dollar watch make waves 

India vs Pakistan 1st Innings Updates For ICC Champions Trophy 2025 5th Match

The much-anticipated India-Pakistan showdown in the Champions Trophy 2025 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium lived up to its high-voltage expectations. Winning the toss, Pakistan opted to field first, hoping to put early pressure on the Indian batting lineup. However, the game took an electrifying turn when Hardik Pandya struck early, sending Babar Azam back to the pavilion with a fiery delivery. Let’s look at India vs Pakistan 1st Innings Updates.

But it wasn’t just Pandya’s on-field brilliance that caught the attention of fans—it was what he had on his wrist. The Indian all-rounder sported an ultra-exclusive Richard Mille RM 27-02, a watch worth a jaw-dropping INR 7 crore approx. Fans and cricket pundits alike couldn’t help but notice the limited-edition timepiece, which is regarded as a masterpiece of engineering and luxury. 

Hardik Pandya’s 7-crore watch: A fit for Champions 

Originally designed for tennis icon Rafael Nadal, the RM 27-02 CA FQ is a collector’s dream, with only 50 pieces ever made. The watch features a Carbon TPT unibody baseplate, inspired by the chassis of high-performance racing cars, ensuring unmatched rigidity and shock resistance. It also boasts Grade 5 titanium bridges, a skeletonized movement, and an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The Quartz TPT case, with its distinctive black-and-white design, adds to its exclusivity, making it a true statement piece. 

Pandya, known for his bold fashion choices and extravagant taste in luxury watches, has an impressive collection of high-end timepieces. But the Richard Mille RM 27-02 stood out as the ultimate style and technology combination, effortlessly blending with the fast-paced, high-energy nature of the India-Pakistan clash. 

Hardik Pandya’s performance in India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy game 

As the match progressed, Pandya’s presence continued to dominate, both with the ball and with his million-dollar accessory. While his crucial wicket of Babar Azam gave India an early edge, social media buzzed with discussions about his remarkable watch. Pandya was successful in getting the wicket of set batter Saud Shakeel to once again put Team Pakistan in trouble.  

With India off to a strong start, all eyes remain on Pandya—not just for his performance, but also for what’s shining on his wrist. Whether it’s on the field or off, the all-rounder knows how to make a statement.
