The World cup is an 11-kilogram (24-pound) trophy, made in England at an estimated cost of $80,000. But little did they know that it is pretty sensitive to take the rounds of India :) While on display in Kolkata (India), this trophy has undergone a damage, when the gold ring below the coins depicting previous winners of the Cricket World Cup got detached from the wooden base of the trophy...
The trophy is now not available for public view, and is in the process of being shipped for repairs to England before being taken to the Carribean. This trophy was on display in New Delhi before being taken to Dada's own Kolkata ! It will be presented to the victorious team at Bridgetown, Barbados on 28th April, 2007.
