The 1992 World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand was the first edition where the teams wore coloured jerseys.

9 teams took part in the World Cup, including South Africa, who played their first World Cup ever as they were reinstated to the ICC after the end of the Apartheid.

Interestingly, the format of the 2019 World Cup will be similar to that of 1992 one with each team playing each other once before the top 4 qualify for the semi-finals.

Pakistan won the 1992 World Cup, defeating England in the final by 22 runs.

India did not perform too well in the World Cup, finishing a lowly 7th out of 9 teams - they won 2 out of the 8 matches they played. They were led by Mohammed Azharuddin. This was also the first World Cup Sachin Tendulkar played in.
