In 1992, Pakistan won their first Cricket World Cup led by their captain, Imran Khan, who was a key factor to the team's victory. His ability to inspire and motivate was recalled to be a significant reason why the team was able to bounce back from a slow start to the tournament and ultimately winning the Cup. Famously, Imran Khan gave his "Cornered Tigers" speech which became a legendary moment in cricket history. Since then, the Pakistan cricket team became nicknamed, the "Cornered Tigers".

Transcript below:

"Tonight, I want to tell you one thing. I have seen many ups and downs in cricket. I have seen many victories and losses. But I have never seen a team which has so much talent, yet lacks in self-belief.

Tonight, I want to tell you that you are the best team in the world. You have the talent, the skills, and the ability to be the best. What is lacking is self-belief. You don't believe in yourself.

In cricket, as in any sport, the battle is not only against the opposition, but also against yourself. You have to overcome your fears, your insecurities, and your doubts. You have to believe in yourself and in your team.

Tonight, I want to see that belief. I want to see you fighting with every ball, every run, every catch. I want to see you giving your all for this team, for this country. You are the cornered tigers, and tonight you must fight like tigers.

Remember the tiger. When it is cornered, it fights with all its might, with all its energy, with all its strength. It becomes the most dangerous animal on the planet. That is the kind of spirit I want to see tonight.

You are not playing for yourself tonight. You are playing for every Pakistani, every man, woman, and child in this country. You are playing for the hopes and dreams of millions of people. You are playing for the glory of your country.

I know that you can do it. I have seen your talent, your skills, your ability. I know that you are warriors at heart. You have the courage, the determination, and the passion to win.”
