This is the world’s first diamond cricket ball.

It was made in Sri Lanka with 2704 diamonds and 18 carat (75%) gold for the seam. The material used to keep the diamonds on the ball is similar to the one used on the wings of NASA space shuttles.

I don’t think so anyone want to hit this ball.

Making a claim for the Guinness Book of Records as the only one of it’s kind in the world, it is made with 2704 diamonds and 18 carat gold stitch.

Please call back the Indian Team from Australia. Looks like the ICC is going hammer and tongs against India.

Please call back the Indian team from Australia. High time we fight back against such umpiring and high handedness of the westerners.
