How is a cricket ball made? | The Hindu

From choosing the perfect leather to carefully stitching the seam, the process of making cricket balls is tedious and time-consuming. It can take up to one and a half hours to make just one ball.
This small unit in Meerut, in Uttar Pradesh, makes around 600 balls in a day. But this is not the only one.
The city houses more than 3,000 units that manufacture sports equipment. The ongoing cricket World Cup has surged the demand for cricket equipment, including these crafted leather balls.
We are at the Sports City of India to show you how cricket balls are crafted.

15k to 20k earnings in india is equivalent to almost 3 to 4k in gulf countries with no freedom and yet some naive people r tend to migrate 😢😢😢

[@NoName-ql2lf]

which currency of gulf countries can equate 15k indian rupee for 3k..?🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@_GMP_]

It's not currency conversion Things you can buy , rent, insurance etc etc with that amount here and there

[@rockwithyou2006]

the idea is to save and then bring it back to India later

Dravidian stock like North Indians only in two instances. 1) When they want cheap labour like this. 2) When they want actresses with a fair skin.

[@sharzo7728]

For fair skin actress we dont call these paj33ts. We get them from sindh region migrants where most bollywood actresses and heroes come from😂😂😂😂

[@househelp9595]

Pakistan is good in this field
