The match has been happening for about 135 years. I’m advised that the Shimla Trophy was awarded to the gamers by the locals of Shimla in 1904. The primary President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, gave the President Cup to the winners of the 1950 version of the match and since then each winner receives this award.
