ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy Makes Historic Stop at Statue of Unity

The iconic ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy, a symbol of cricketing excellence, made a historic visit to the renowned Statue of Unity in Ekta Nagar. This stop is part of the trophy’s global tour, spanning 18 countries and even venturing into space.

Today, cricket enthusiasts and visitors to the Statue of Unity had the exceptional opportunity to get up close and personal with this legendary trophy. Its visit to this iconic location emphasizes cricket’s worldwide appeal and its capacity to bring people together.

The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy embarked on this extraordinary journey earlier this year, capturing headlines with its thrilling voyage into the stratosphere, reaching an astounding altitude of 1,20,000 feet above Earth. This journey has seen the trophy travel to diverse destinations globally, solidifying its status as a symbol of unity and sporting excellence.

The India-Pakistan World Cup clash, originally set for October 15 in Ahmedabad, could face rescheduling due to security apprehensions. The International Cricket Council (ICC) had initially planned to commence the tournament with this high-profile match on the first day of Navratri, a festival widely observed in Gujarat with spirited participation in garba nights.
