1988: A captain who returned from retirement to win a World Cup Pakistan's World Cup winning captain Imran Khan returned to international cricket in 1988 after announcing his retirement the previous year. It was at the request of the Pakistani President, General Zia-Ul-Haq, that the all-rounder represented the country again. Eventually, his inspirational captaincy gave Pakistan their first World Cup.
1992: Inspirational Imran asks Inzi to forget fever and play the semifinal After suffering from high fever on the night before Pakistan's 1992 World Cup semifinal against New Zealand, Inzamam-ul-Haq told captain Imran Khan that he was not 100% sure of playing the game. However, Imran simply asked him to think about playing the semifinal and nothing else. Inzamam played the match and smashed a stunning 37-ball 60 and was adjudged the Man of the Match.
1992: Spinners can't take the new ball? In the 1992 World Cup, Dipak Patel proved that spinners could be a surprise weapon with the new ball. Opening the bowling, the Kenyan-born off-spinner, who played for Worcestershire, before moving to New Zealand, was the most economical bowler in the tournament (for a minimum of 15 overs bowled). His figures in the tournament read: 79-8-245-8 at an economy rate of 3.10.
