The Indian national cricket team toured Australia in the 1991–92 season, just before the 1992 Cricket World Cup. The team was led by Mohammed Azharuddin and played 5 Test matches. Australia won the Test series 4–0. The series is notable from an Indian point of view for Ravi Shastri's double hundred, Sachin Tendulkar's 114 on a bouncy pitch at Perth while the other Indian batsmen struggled, and Kapil Dev becoming the first Indian bowler to take 400 wickets in Tests. The series also saw the debut of Australia's leading Test wicket-taker, Shane Warne.

[[1991–92 Australian Tri-Series|World Series Cup]]
Prior to the Test series, India also competed in the World Series Cup tri-nation One-Day International tournament involving Australia and the West Indies. The West Indies brought a comparatively inexperienced team, having dropped Viv Richards and smarting from the recent retirements of Gordon Greenidge and Jeff Dujon. India won three of their eight round-robin matches and also tied one match against the West Indies. In the best-of-three final with Australia they lost 2–0.
