According to Internet Media: Where was the original World Cup trophy during the presentation ceremony of the World Cup?
After the huge euphoria on India's winning the World Cup comes a shocker. When India was given the World Cup, the original perhaps was in lock and key with the Customs department, according to report.
And if that report is true, this has never happened in the 36-year history of the cricket World Cup.
Where was the real trophy then? The original trophy was seized by the Mumbai Customs on its arrival from Colombo after the Sri Lanka- New Zealand semifinals on March 29.
This is now a full-fledged war of credibility between the ICC and the Customs department.
The real trophy, valued at about approximately Rs 56 lakh in money terms is priceless for any cricket lover.
And Customs officials claim, ICC was not ready to pay up approximately Rs 22 lakh as Customs duty, arguing that the trophy had Zero Commercial value.
