The World Cup of 1992 was hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The tournament introduced many innovations in cricket which includes playing in the coloured clothing and usage of the white ball. The 9-team series included round-robin matches. India finished at the 7th spot with only two victories from their eight matches. One of those victories was against Pakistan which began India’s still-unbeaten World Cup streak.
This was also the first World Cup experience for Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli. More shared the picture from the inauguration ceremony of the 1992 World Cup. The picture includes captain Mohammad Azharuddin, Ravi Shastri, Ajay Jadeja, Sanjay Manjrekar, Pravin Amre, Sachin Tendulkar, More himself and Vinod Kambli.
