Dear friends.... Winning a world cup by the Indian cricket team is a glorious moment...
But controversies surround the trophy we won in the final of the WC2011 on March 2...

Media in India made a controversial statement out of doubt that the trophy we lifted was a replica of the World cup and the real trophy is in ICC Dubai....

Later on BCCI and ICC clarified that the trophy lifted by the Indian team was the original trophy..

So, What gave a room for the controversy.... As we see in many posters ads and photos the world cup trophy has a ring of circles at the base of the trophy....

But the actual fact is that only the trophies of 1999 and 2003 world cups had the ring of circles at the base and from 2007 onwards ICC removed those circles from the base of the trophy...

As Indian Team was eliminated at an early stage people were disappointed and many were not keen to see the finals were Australia lifted the trophy....

This is the reason why the controversy arose and the major differences in the trophies are evident from the photos posted below...

Note the difference between 2003 and 2007 trophies.
