The late Crowe was an extremely stylish right-handed middle-order batsman from New Zealand and made the 1992 World Cup his own by scoring almost 500 runs in that tournament. He was also adjudged the most valuable player of the 1992 World Cup.

However, his efforts were not enough as Pakistan beat New Zealand in the semi-finals. Crowe played in two other World Cups too, but would always be remembered for his exploits on home soil in 1992.
The former New Zealand captain was equally comfortable on his front-foot and back-foot and was known for playing elegant cover drives and audacious pull shots. He was also very comfortable while negotiating with swing bowling because of his lateral movement while playing the shots.
He made 4704 runs from 143 ODIs at an average of 38.55 and remains one of the finest Kiwi batsmen of all time. It's a pity that he passed away a few years ago.
