IPL unviels winners trophy

Here is a picture of the DLF IPL Twenty20 Trophy.

Sadly, only the replica will be given to the winners.

It looks tacky, isn't it? I remember my team receiving a similar trophy for winning a local tennis ball tournament.

Surely not as bad as the Warne-Murali trophy that Australia & Sri Lanka now play for.

Wouldn't mind all those diamonds on my mantlepiece though...

CC,

Thank God for small mercies.

Scorpi,

That and the fact that it looks as if they used sheenlac varnish. :)

Soulberry,

The diamonds stay back in the BCCI's office !

The trophy will anyway rot in the cricket office. What matters is the moolah that comes along with the win. Think the players wont mind the trophy then.

Philip,

What is the point of having a trophy?

I think the team owner will love to have it grace their cupboard. :)

Trophy.? I thought they were holding their dinner plates.

doubt if i've seen worse. this is exceptionally bad - instead of the map a clock would've done just fine. and in kepping with ipl's respect for sponsors, a big Titan watches logo would've done just fine. finally tho, RC or Kingfisher would've hogged that too.

Tasteless. Cannot even spot the rubies and diamonds against the wooden background.
