IPL 2018: 7 major changes in the IPL over the years

#3 The trophy

This is what the players play for, the beautiful IPL trophy. The winners of the first three seasons were presented with a gorgeous diamond-studded trophy.

The trophy had the Indian map in the background with the logo of the IPL handcrafted in wood and a batsman in gold leafing holding a diamond bat in the front. It was encrusted with rubies, yellow and blue sapphires. It was hand-crafted by the Orra diamond brand’s design team.

After the third season, the winners are being presented with the glamorous trophy that contains the words, “Yatra Pratibha Avsara Prapnotihi” meaning where talent meets opportunity. The Chennai Super Kings are the only side to win both the old and the new crown.
