A Correct answer
Explanation

In the 1999 World Cup encounter (likely the famous match against Pakistan where he scored 141), Sachin Tendulkar was the Player of the Match. However, Venkatesh Prasad's career-best figures of 5/27 came in the 1999 World Cup match against Sri Lanka in a group-stage encounter (not the Pakistan match). The question seems to conflate two different matches, but if specifically asking about 5/27 figures, Prasad is correct.
