Jaipur Craftsmanship: The Secret Behind T20 World Cup Trophy
8 Mar
Summary
- The ICC T20 World Cup trophy was crafted in Jaipur, India.
- It is made of silver with platinum plating and weighs six kilograms.
- The original trophy resides at ICC headquarters; winning teams receive replicas.
The ICC Men's T20 World Cup trophy, a symbol of cricketing excellence, was skillfully crafted in Jaipur, India. Amit Pabuwal, the designer responsible, explained that after Australia's Minale Bryce finalized the design concept in 2007, the ICC entrusted him with its creation.
Pabuwal recounted the challenges faced during development. Initial plans for a titanium and glass combination proved technically difficult due to glass breakage. After extensive experimentation, he advised against this approach.
The final trophy, standing 21 inches tall and weighing approximately six kilograms, is constructed from silver with platinum plating. This choice ensures its longevity for an international event. The original trophy is kept at the ICC headquarters, with winning teams receiving an identical replica.
