Explanation

In the 1999 World Cup match against Sri Lanka (actually the group-stage encounter, not the famous 1996 semifinal), Saurav Ganguly was injured just before the match. Sadagoppan Ramesh replaced him in the playing XI and opened the batting. Ramesh was a left-handed opener who had debuted for India in 1999 and was Ganguly's logical replacement at the top of the order.
