Prior to the commencement of the ODI 2023 World Cup in India, the International Cricket Council (ICC) launched the Men's Cricket World Cup Trophy Tour on a massive scale, providing fans with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to engage with the prized trophy.

According to a release, the ICC World Cup Trophy was launched into space at a height of 120,000 feet to kick off the Tour, before it descended to land at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. This was made possible after the trophy was fastened to a specially made stratospheric balloon. Few breathtaking images of the trophy perched on the edge of the Earth's atmosphere were acquired by 4K cameras.
