MUMBAI: Indian media exposed that the World Cup trophy handed over to Indian cricket team was not original and it was a fake trophy.
This was statement that president of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Sharad Powar had given away the trophy to Indian team leader Mahindra Singh Dhoni in a ceremony at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai after they won the World Cup.
However, that trophy was a fake one as it had neither ICC logo nor the name of the champions on it.
The Indian media more said that the original trophy is in the protection of the Mumbai customs who levied a tax of Rs2.2 million on it.
But the ICC in a proposal to avoid any tax gave away the fake trophy to the Indian team after winning the final.
Tournament director Sauro Naik said that the original trophy of the World Cup would be sent reverse to Dubai today.
