In 1999, the then defending champions, Sri Lanka elected to field first after winning the toss and the way Chaminda Vaas cleaned up Sadagoppan Ramesh in the first over, it looked like Sri Lanka had struck gold. However, what transpired next was something the Lankan lions would have never imagined even in their wildest of the dreams.
Sourav Ganguly and wicket-keeper Rahul Dravid stitched a 318-run partnership for the 2nd wicket and helped India reach 373 in their 50 overs. Robin Singh's 5-wicket haul in the second innings made sure India quash Sri Lanka in that group stage encounter.
