Weight of a wicket = 100 g
Weight of 3 wickets = 3 x 100 = 300 g
Weight of a wicket stand = 200 g
Weight of a bail = 50 g
Weight of 2 bails = 2 x 50 = 100 g
Weight of a bag = 100 g
Total weight of the cricket kit = 1000 + 125 + 300 + 200 + 100 + 100 = 1825 g
= 1000 g + 825 g = 1 kg + 825 g = 1 kg 825 g
