Mumbai Indians’ owner Nita Ambani’s daughter-in-law Radhika Merchant was seen wearing quite an expensive watch as she graced her presence at the Wankhede Stadium on March 29, Sunday for the IPL 2026 match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In a video surfaced on social media, Radhika was wearing a rare Richard Mille RM 75-01 watch worth at least ₹20 crore.
Ambani family were present to support the Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2026 opener
The Amabni family – including Nita Ambani, Mukesh Ambani, Akash Ambani, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant had come to watch Mumbai Indians’ match against the Knight Riders on Sunday. They weren’t disappointed as Hardik Pandya and co. put on an outstanding show to beat the Knight Riders, breaking the 14-year jinx of winning their first match of the season. Although the Knight Riders had got off to a brilliant start, slowing down in the middle overs, especially after Ajinkya Rahane’s 67 meant they finished with an under par 220 despite cameos from Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh. In pursuit of the target, Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton went hammer and tongs from the outset to ensure that the required rate never went out of hand. Rohit made 78, while Rickelton top-scored with 81 as the hosts won by four wickets and five balls to spare. Shardul Thakur won the Player of the Match award for his figures of 4-0-39-3.

Reflecting on chasing the big target, captain Hardik Pandya felt the nature of Wankhede’s wicket makes such scores very much chasable:
“Obviously it’s been a long wait. Modern cricket, plus we’ve seen what this wicket plays like. Credit to the bowlers, not letting KKR fly away to 240s or 250s. Those become tough targets but 220 is always chaseable. Rohit and Rickelton were outstanding.”
Mumbai Indians to be involved in an away fixture next
The five-time champions will next be in action in an away against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 4, Saturday. The Capitals are yet to open their campaign and will face the Lucknow Super Giants in their first game on April 1st, Wednesday.
Kolkata, meanwhile, will have some work to do, especially in their bowling as they face the SunRisers Hyderabad next.
