1992 Cricket World Cup

The 1992 Cricket World Cup, officially known as the International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket World Cup, marked the 9th edition of the prestigious tournament and was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand from February 22 to March 25, 1992. This edition was notable for the introduction of significant changes to the format and rules, including the usage of colored clothing, white cricket balls, and day-night matches. India, one of the tournament's key contenders, advanced to the semifinals but faced a defeat against Pakistan, who subsequently won the World Cup. The tournament was significant in India’s cricketing history, fostering increased interest in the sport and establishing a foundation for future successes, particularly in the 1996 World Cup victory.
