Karachi’s National Bank Stadium hosted the unveiling of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11’s new “Infinity” trophy on Wednesday, showcasing its elegant golden structure, sparkling crystals, and crescent-star crown to fans.
The marquee league shared the first look at the silverware by posting a 47-second video on its social media platforms, showcasing the crafting process.
The trophy has an elegant and modern design, featuring a tall, sleek golden structure that rises from a round base.
The central body is decorated with sparkling stones or crystals arranged in vertical patterns, giving the trophy a glittering appearance when illuminated. Two curved golden arms extend upward from the sides, meeting near the top.
At the summit of the trophy is a striking crescent and star, a design element inspired by the crescent and star of Pakistan’s national flag.
The crescent is studded with small crystals, while a polished metallic star sits slightly above it, creating a symbolic and visually striking crown.
The base of the trophy is gold-plated and mounted on a black cylindrical pedestal that displays PSL branding.
As per the caption of the post, a total of 18 artisans designed the trophy, which took 2600 hours to complete.
