India win T20 World Cup 2026: India has created history by winning the title of T20 World Cup 2026. It has become the only team which has won this title in its host country. Apart from this, it is also the only team to become champion for the second consecutive time and overall 3 times. After this historic feat, Team India got a shining trophy. But now that trophy will be taken away from him. Team India will not have the T20 World Cup trophy. The reason behind this is the ICC rule.
The real trophy of T20 WC will be taken back
According to ICC rules, the real trophy is not given to any team that wins the tournament. Instead they are given a dummy or replica trophy. The real trophy is given only during the award ceremony. After the team’s photo shoot with the trophy is done, the original trophy goes to the ICC.
Team India will get dummy trophy, ICC rules
27 years ago ICC had made a rule according to which the original trophy would be given to the winning team. But it will have to be returned after being used in the photo session and victory parade. ICC will instead give a dummy trophy to the winning team, which looks exactly like the original. Gold and silver are also used in it. The real trophy is kept at the Dubai headquarters of ICC. This is done to protect the trophy from being stolen or damaged.
