IPL matches are not solely about on-field action; half the entertainment comes from moments captured in the stands. During the recent Chennai Super Kings (CSK) versus Mumbai Indians (MI) clash at Wankhede Stadium, one such moment was created by Sakshi Singh Dhoni.
While all eyes were on MS Dhoni's performance for CSK, Sakshi quietly grabbed attention in her own understated way. She opted for no loud outfits or over-the-top styling, instead exuding simple, effortless vibes. However, one detail stood out prominently: her watch.
Sakshi wore a Richard Mille RM 67-02, a timepiece that commands attention among watch enthusiasts. This is not an everyday luxury item; it is a statement piece that makes people look twice. The price tag is approximately $334,000, which translates to roughly Rs 3.14 crore. This is not a typographical error.
What makes this Richard Mille watch interesting is that it is not purely for show. It is designed to be exceptionally lightweight and comfortable, making it a favorite among athletes. The watch is built to withstand movement, sweat, and active use, rather than merely resting on a wrist. Seeing it worn so casually at a cricket match adds to its appeal.
The styling was key to its impact. Sakshi did not try too hard; the watch spoke for itself, while everything else remained minimal. She paired it with simple Dior earrings, nothing flashy, just enough to add a subtle shine without stealing the spotlight.
This is likely why people noticed. There was no forced energy, no "look at me" vibe. Just a clean, easy look that made a Rs 3 crore watch feel almost normal, albeit almost. That is the essence of IPL: it is never just about cricket. There is always something happening off the field too, such as celebrity appearances, fan moments, and style highlights that become part of the experience.
While the CSK vs MI match had its own on-field drama, Sakshi's watch emerged as one of those off-field moments that people kept discussing. After all, one does not see a Rs 3 crore watch at a cricket match every day.
