No, we're not talking about a particular player, rather these gold and diamond-encrusted cricket balls. Yours for a snip at £35,000 each:
Each ball is comprised of 295.6g of yellow gold and is studded with 5,728 natural diamonds with a total weight of 31.5 carats. The lady weighing this one up is Bollywood actress Mahima Chaudhary.
Reportedly, two will be presented to India's best player of the World Cup and their "best interim player", whatever that means. Blingtastic.
