Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir revealed that he cried all night when India lost to Australia by one run in the 1992 ODI World Cup. Let us tell you, Australia batted first in this match and scored 237 runs.

India had a very good start in this match and Kapil Dev dismissed Mark Taylor and Geoff Marsh early and put Australia on the backfoot. However, after this, Australia made a comeback in the match due to the excellent innings of David Boon and Dean Jones. David Boon scored 43 runs against India while Dean Jones played an important innings of 90 runs.

While chasing the target, Krish Srikkanth failed to bat well. However, Mohammad Azharuddin batted very well and played a valuable innings of 93 runs. But Mohammad Azharuddin was not supported by anyone from the other end. Sanjay Manjrekar played an innings of 47 runs in the end but India lost the match by one run.

Gautam Gambhir said that he wanted to see India lifting the cup in 1992. However, the team did not perform well.

I was 11 years old at that time and cried the whole night: Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir said, ‘After watching the match, I wanted to see India win the World Cup. I remember that in the 1992 India vs Australia match, we had to face defeat by one run and I cried the whole night. Neither before nor after that I had cried like this, I just don’t know what happened to me that day.

I was 11 years old at that time and cried all night. I wanted to see India win the World Cup. I had said this in 1992 that I want to see India win the World Cup and in 2011 my dream came true.
