Kunhikannan ji, the concern is that the fruit as well as the flowers in this case, are approximately half the size of M. maderaspatana (syn. of Cucumis maderaspatanus).

Assuming some kind of stunted growth, it does look like M. maderaspatana.

 

Friends, please comment.

 

Regards.

Dinesh ji

To me the fruits appear young and not fully developed, so size should not be the concern.
