As soon as the Indian cricket team reached Delhi with the T20 World Cup trophy on Thursday morning, slogans of India-India started echoing everywhere. Meanwhile, Team India captain Rohit Sharma came out of the airport with the trophy and the whole team looked excited. Meanwhile, everyone's eyes were on the silver World Cup trophy, which the Indian team won with great hard work.
You must have seen this trophy many times during the World Cup. But, have you ever wondered why this trophy is silver in colour, because many times the World Cup trophy is golden in colour. So let us tell you what is the logic behind this and when the trophy is kept silver and when golden.
What is the logic behind this?
An important difference in the color of the World Cup trophy is gold and silver. Gold is not used in the T20 World Cup trophy and it is made of silver and rhodium. The ODI World Cup trophy is made of gold and silver, so its color is golden. In such a situation, the trophy given in the World Cup of 50 overs matches is golden. The trophy given in the World Cup T20 matches is silver in color.
What is special about the T20 World Cup trophy?
Let us tell you that this trophy is made by mixing silver and rhodium. The weight of the trophy is said to be around 7 kg and its height is about 51 CM.
Who will have the trophy?
The main trophy of the World Cup is not given to the players. The original trophy remains with the IIC and the replica trophy is given to the team. This trophy is not kept by the players of the team but by the cricket board. Since India has won the World Cup this time too, this trophy will now remain with the BCCI.
Let us tell you that in the final match played on 29 June, Team India defeated South Africa in a thrilling manner. With this victory at Kensington Oval Stadium in Bridgetown (Barbados), India won the T20 World Cup after 17 years. After winning the World Cup, the team reached Delhi on Thursday morning and after checking in at the hotel, now the World Champion Team India went to meet PM Narendra Modi at Prime Minister's residence 7, Lok Kalyan Marg.
