Ever since Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya took Babar Azam’s wicket in the blockbuster Champions Trophy match against Pakistan, his luxury watch has gone viral on social media. It was the moment when he celebrated after making a breakthrough in the innings.

The archrivals beat Green Shirts by 60 runs in the match. It was an all-round performance by the team as they managed to restrict the hosts to a low total and Virat Kohli powered his side to victory, sealing their spot in the semi-final.

Pandya has been crucial to his team’s victories in the recent past. He bowled the last over in the T20 World Cup last years, where they beat South Africa in the final to clinch the trophy.

It was the exclusive Richard Mille RM 27-02 watch, valued at an astonishing $800,000, according to Times of India.

The limited-edition piece, initially designed for tennis star Rafael Nadal, is renowned for its innovative Carbon TPT unibody baseplate, which provides exceptional shock resistance and durability.
