Hardik Pandya Wears Rs 7 Crore Watch Against Pakistan, Sets Social Media Ablaze

Team India’s prolific performance against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy Group A match on Sunday saw Virat Kohli steal the spotlight with a hundred. But, Kohli’s clinical show with the bat wasn’t the only headline-making act in Dubai on Sunday, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s whopping Rs. 7 crore watch also becoming a talking point on social media. Hardik was influential with the ball for India in the match, picking up two wickets in 8 overs, while conceding just 31 runs. However, it was his fact that made him the center of discussions on social media platforms.

Hardik’s love for luxury watches isn’t hidden from anyone. Against Pakistan, the all-rounder was spotted wearing a USD 800,000 Richard Mille RM 27-02 timepiece (approximately INR 6.92 crore). The ultra-luxury watch isn’t a common sight anywhere across the globe. Realising the worth of the watch, hence, fans on social media were gobsmacked.
