The viral footage showcases the design journey of the trophy, led by renowned English silversmith Thomas Lyte.
It highlights the detailed stages of production and the precision required to craft one of the most coveted prizes in cricket.
Lyte described the task as both a privilege and a demanding challenge, noting the pressure that comes with producing a trophy of global significance.
