It was the not the original trophy that India lifted on April 2nd, 2011 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. “The real trophy, valued at about $130,000 in money terms, but priceless for any cricket lover, was not at the Wankhede stadium, as the world had been led to believe,” reported India Today.
The goof up came to light as the World Cup lifted by the Indian cricket team did not have the names of all the World Cup winners as it should have. Instead, the Cup just came with a blank black pedestal.
It has been reported that original world cup was seized by the Mumbai customs after the ICC failed to pay the customs duty amounting to Rs 22 lakhs. The Chairman of the CBEC confirmed that the Trophy lies in the customs warehouse.
