Quite in consonance with the nature of the event, the trophy designed for the IPL also focuses more on the stars and the glitter rather than the basics, which is cricket. It is quite amazing that a trophy for a cricket tournament involving the world's greatest cricketers depicts the figurine of a batsman playing an impossible shot with an incorrect and absurd grip on the bat. In fact, its quite amazing how so many people managed to ignore this for two years, because its quite evident that a right-handed batsman playing a shot with his left hand being the bottom hand is quite out-of-the-question.
The bat swing is also so inane that its evident that the designer has absolutely no clue about cricket, just another one is the list of those involved in this amazing event.

amazing observation!! u shud write to modi about this. :-)
Nice one buddy ... read abt ur link in the t20worldcupmole blog and the observation is very precise. All this time I was wondering what was wrong with the trophy but hadnt been able to pinpoint it, but yeah left hand as bottomhand !!!! k'mon ~~~~~
You fail to give credit where credit is due. This is obviously just another brilliant innovation by the IPL and Lalit Modi to revolutionize cricket. Before you know it, the "reverse grip" will overtake the reverse sweep, the switch hit, etc. Just watch.
