Legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev said that victory over eventual champions Pakistan in the league stages of the 1992 World Cup was the most cherished moment for him in the quadrennial event Down Under. ‘India didn’t play particularly well but if you ask me I would say my best memory is we beat eventual winner Pakistan in a league match.
It’s not a positive memory for me, but to say we beat the team which held the trophy makes me feel better,’ said Kapil, who was part of the Indian side that beat Pakistan by 43 runs. Pakistan skipper Imran Khan who led his side to a famous win over England in the final said: ‘Despite early setbacks, we knew we needed one good win in the World Cup and we would be back in contention and it happened against Oz.’
