# Cricket World Cup Hosting - India's First Time
India's cricket history includes several significant milestones in hosting international tournaments.
Step 1: Historical Context of Cricket World Cup
The Cricket World Cup is a global tournament held every four years, and various nations have hosted it throughout history. India, being a cricket powerhouse, eventually got the opportunity to host this prestigious event.
Step 2: Verification of the Year
