Unique ODI World Cup 2023 campaign was started at the Stratospheric level

This remarkable tour began in breathtaking fashion, with the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy taking a voyage into the stratosphere, soaring 120,000 feet above our planet, before making a triumphant descent at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, in Ahmedabad. A bespoke stratospheric balloon was employed to carry the trophy into the edge of Earth’s atmosphere, all while 4k cameras captured this extraordinary feat.

The trophy, braving temperatures as low as -65 degrees Celsius, floated above an astounding 99.5 percent of Earth’s atmosphere. Subsequently, it embarked on a whirlwind global journey, spanning 18 countries and gracing over 40 cities for an astonishing 100 days. As Pune revels in the glory of hosting the upcoming ODI cricket World Cup, the anticipation and excitement surrounding this trophy tour add an extra layer of cricketing euphoria to the mix.
