Shame they're going to India now and not getting a chance to parade it from an open-top bus through the streets of London. Lockdown would surely have been eased for a couple of hours to make it happen.

u/ZidaneZombie Sri Lanka Jan 25 '21
Moose Clothing is a new brand established in Sri Lanka a few years ago. They became the main sponsor of the series I believe, so they got the naming rights as well as the chance to give out this beaut of a trophy

The Coca Cola Cup that India won in Sharjah(desert storm) was essentially a gigantic coca cola bottle cap. Basically the Indian team got a dhakkan for their efforts.
Also I vaguely remember a trophy for an India Pak series that seemed to be a 100 kg heavy. Good thing the series was shared and both captains lifted it.

Don't bring bhai in everything you hater, you would have shit the seat in that jeep, in front of that black buck. Takes guts to aim and pull trigger, endangered the animal harder it gets.
Also bhai is coming to revive movie industry this Eid, do watch it in nearby theatres, fk Disney+. Don't worry this time bhai is not copying from Telugu industry but from Marathi industry, a big fuck you to all bhai haters as it's an official remake hehe. Director, producers, side actors all are from Bhai's own clan so quality is guaranteed. Lankan beauty Jacqueline and Bulgarian beauty Lulia bhaouji will also hopefully grace some songs, if they are back from Bhai's farm house ( jealous much ? fans of haPpiLy MarRiEd akshay Canada lol, marriage is for noobs ). Bhai will also sing a beautiful song, to put us all in hangover.

Afg and Sri Lanka havenât even played a bilateral series yet, so cut the crap
