For Tendulkar, the World Cup was the first chance to play with some of the big names.

“I was quite disappointed that Vivian Richards was not part of the West Indies squad. He was (and still is) my hero, so it was disappointing that I could not play against him,” said Tendulkar.

Tendulkar scored 283 runs in the 1992 World Cup at an average of just over 47.u00a0
