Fake World Cup trophy handed over to Champions 'Team India'

It has been the worst and shameless act by irresponsible authorities who have failed to make sure that the victorious team is being presented with the original World Cup trophy and not the fake one. Yes, it is true that the trophy which the Indian team players proudly lifted was not the real one, but just a replica.
The main reason was the lethargic cricket officials and ICC who had failed to pay the import duties for bringing in the precious cup to India. According to India's Byzantine customs rules, the World CUP trophy was not an exception from paying import duty. Since the import duty has not been payed ICC has managed to lock the original in Mumbai airport.

However, ICC is managing somehow to pacify the reporters by mentioning that the real trophy is never presented to the winning team, and that only the replica is presented to the winners. Contradictory to the statement the photographic evidence of Australia captains Steve Waugh (1999) and Ricky Ponting (2003, 2007) receiving the original trophy has proved the ICC officials to be wrong.

It is a worst dishonor for any country and unfortunately India has been the victims this time.
