May be some Astraeus‎ species as per comparative images herein. 

[Ashutosh Sharma]

It is some Scleroderma sp. (Puffballs)

Family - Sclerodermataceae

Hi, Ashutosh ji,

I find inside portion to be different from Scleroderma as per images herein. It does not seem to have any outer layer as in Astraeus‎ species as per comparative images herein. 

[Ashutosh Sharma]

Garg ji,

Here fruiting bodies are present above soil surface,  surface is cracked and looks soft and leathery as in Scleroderma sp. while the unmatured fruiting bodies of Astraeus sp. on that page may look close to it but they are present atleast partly under soil surface and is not leathery and soft with no cracks on pileus surface moreover we are not sure about the unmatured fruiting bodies present on Astraeus page, even that might be Scleroderma sp. and to confirm that we need to see its matured fruiting bodies.

Best regards 

Ashutosh Sharma 

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Ashutosh ji.

I further checked up and you seems to be right as per links given for both, as below:
