== Winning team ==
India won the tournament beating the West Indies.

==Controversies==
Two of the matches involved crowd trouble, first in Ahmedabad, where crowd trouble interrupted play and in Calcutta, where a firecracker exploded in West Indian [[Keith Arthurton]]s face.<ref name= ESPNCRICINFO/>

Hero Cup was the first tournament to be broadcast live on a satellite channel, [[STAR (India)|Star TV]].<ref name=ph08>{{cite book|last=Hutton|first=Peter|title=Television in India|year=2008|publisher=Routledge|isbn=1134062133|pages=141, 142}}</ref><ref name=gh10>{{cite book|last=Haigh|first=Gideon|title=Sphere of Influence: Writings on Cricket and Its Discontents|year=2010|publisher=Victory Books|isbn=0522857876|pages=7, 8, 9}}</ref> Until the Hero Cup in 1993, state terrestrial broadcaster [[Doordarshan]] had a monopoly on broadcast of cricket matches in India. Doordarshan claimed violation of the [[Indian Telegraph Act, 1885]] act, claiming the broadcast right was public property and had to be uplinked from India (Star TV uplinks from Hong Kong).<ref name=ph08/> The matter went up to the [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] in 1995, which held that broadcast rights could not be treated as public property.<ref name=gh10/>
