You can just use

kubectl get pod <your pod name> -w

whenever any update/change/delete happen to the pod, you will see the update.

You can also use

watch -n 1 kubectl get  pod <your pod name>

This will continuously run kubectl get pod ... with 1 seconds interval. So, you will see latest state.

Adding a -w or --watch to all your kubectl get [resource]s command makes the result notified of each creation, modification, or deletion of that resource.
i.e kubectl get pod [pod_name] -w or kubectl get nodes --watch
