Hardik Pandya isn’t just known for his explosive all-round performances on the cricket field. Over the years, he’s also built a reputation as one of cricket’s biggest style icons. From his trendy hairstyles and tattoos to his diamond-studded earrings, Pandya always manages to grab attention. And when it comes to luxury watches, his collection is nothing short of jaw-dropping.

The Watch That Stole the Show

At India’s first practice session ahead of the Asia Cup 2025, it wasn’t just Hardik Pandya’s power-hitting that caught the eye – it was his watch. He’s been wearing it quite often lately, and it has become a hot topic of discussion. According to reports, the watch is a Richard Mille RM 27-04, a rare limited-edition piece listed on richardmille.com.

While the exact price tag isn’t officially revealed, a report in The Times of India estimated it at around Rs 20 crore. On Instagram, the popular page ‘watchspotter’ suggested the cost could be closer to Rs 15 crore. To put things into perspective, if the watch is worth Rs 20 crore, it’s almost eight times more expensive than the Asia Cup winner’s prize money of Rs 2.6 crore.

Hardik Pandya is closing in on big milestones

Of course, Hardik Pandya is much more than just a fashion trendsetter. On the field, he has consistently delivered for India in crunch moments and will once again be one of the key players to watch out for in the Asia Cup.

At 31, Hardik Pandya has already featured in 114 T20Is, scoring 1,812 runs at a blazing strike rate of 141.67, with five half-centuries to his name. He’s now just 188 runs away from entering the 2,000-run club in T20Is, a milestone he’ll be eager to reach during the tournament.

With the ball, he’s been just as effective. Hardik Pandya currently has 94 wickets in the shortest format, needing only six more to reach the landmark of 100 T20I wickets. His best figures so far stand at an impressive 4/16.

India’s Road in the Asia Cup 2025

India’s campaign for Asian dominance kicks off on September 10 against the UAE. The clash everyone is waiting for, India vs Pakistan, will light up the tournament on September 14. India’s final league game is also against the UAE on September 19, after which the Super Four stage begins on September 20.

Hardik Pandya, with his experience and all-around skills, will be right at the heart of India’s journey. And whether it’s his watch or his match-winning performances, he’ll surely keep fans talking.
