Top 5 Indian cricketers with expensive watches

In the sport of cricket, where power shots and accurate bowling have a tendency to monopolise attention, there is another world of luxury at the high end that continues on stealthily: Indian cricket's biggest guns' wristwatches. From tourbillons in limited series to gem-set chronographs, these five cricketers are not just demonstrating their prowess on the ground; they are announcing their presence off it, with watches whose prices equal match fees.

From the humble thrills of a Richard Mille to the heritage of Rolex, these watches are reminders of a straightforward reality: excellence for cricket's greatest isn't just at the boundary. Whether sailing through a Yorker or finding its way through the Royal Oak's ever-bouncing bound, these watches are indicators of precision, performance, and prestige, a testament that in cricket existence as it is with the game, every moment counts.

Here's a closer look at the Top 5 Indian cricketers whose watch collections rake in jaw-dropping sums.

1. Hardik Pandya — Richard Mille RM 27‑02 "Rafael Nadal" Tourbillon (INR 6.93 crore)

Destructive batsman and fiery all-rounder Hardik Pandya also boasts one of cricket's most coveted watch collections. His masterwork? The Richard Mille RM 27‑02 CA FQ, a skeletonised tourbillon co-designed with tennis icon Rafael Nadal. Its Carbon TPT unibody baseplate, available in just 50 units, delivers not only up to 5,000 g shock resistance but also gives it that unmistakable racing‑car look. This limited edition, says Gem Nation, is priced at a little less than INR 6.93 crore (USD 800,000). 

2. Suresh Raina — Richard Mille RM 11‑03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph (INR 94 lakh)

"Mr. IPL" puts to use more than just plain fast singles; he discharges substantial banknotes on his wristwear. Raina's model is the RM 11‑03, which has a flyback chronograph with a vulcanised rubber strap. Constructed from cutting‑edge materials like Carbon TPT and titanium, the watch balances lightness with durability. Cricket Times states Raina's RM 11‑03 retails at around INR 94 lakh, a befitting accessory for a man who has lit up the game through his fielding and bat speed.

3. Virat Kohli — Rolex Cosmograph Daytona (INR 70 lakh)

Regarded as one of the finest batsmen of his generation, Virat Kohli’s wrist game matches his on‑field aggression.

His go‑to model is the iconic Rolex Daytona, distinguished by its tachymeter bezel and gem‑set hour markers. Popular among athletes for its robustness and racing heritage, Kohli’s Daytona is rumoured to fetch around INR 70 lakh on the secondary market. Whether it is all about scheduling net sessions or simply refashioning a leisurely glance, the Daytona sits at the crossroads of performance and prestige. 

4. Sachin Tendulkar — Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar (INR 42 lakh) 

Even the "Little Master" seems powerless against haute horlogerie's allure. Sachin Tendulkar's personal choice is the AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, recognisable from a distance by its octagonal bezel and "Grande Tapisserie" dial design. 

Apart from its timeless appearance, the perpetual calendar complication will automatically take into account months of variable length—like leap years—making it as technically impressive as Tendulkar's legendary innings. Cricket Times puts this watch at approximately INR 42 lakh.

5. KL Rahul — Patek Philippe Aquanaut (INR 37.5 lakh)

Renowned for his elegant strokeplay, KL Rahul embodies that sophistication in his watch collection as well. The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is his favourite timepiece—a sporty yet sophisticated watch featuring a composite "Tropical" strap and embossed dial reminiscent of its iconic predecessor, the Nautilus. Powered by Patek's own in-house automatic calibre, Rahul's Aquanaut costs around INR 37.5 lakh. It's a subtle powerhouse—much like his crease game.
