Ganguly was part of the Indian team that competed in the 1999 Cricket World Cup in England. During the match against Sri Lanka at Taunton, India chose to bat. After Sadagoppan Ramesh
was bowled, Ganguly scored 183 from 158 balls, and hit 17 fours and
seven sixes. It became the second highest score in World Cup history and
the highest by an Indian in the tournament. His partnership of 318 with
Rahul Dravid is the highest overall score in a World Cup and is the second highest in all ODI cricket. In 1999–00, India lost Test series to both Australia and South Africa that involved a combined total of five Tests.
Ganguly struggled scoring 224 runs at 22.40; however his ODI form was
impressive, with five centuries over the season taking him to the top of
the PwC One Day Ratings for batsmen.
