Sachin Tendulkar has logged the most dismissals on the score of 99 in international cricket. He fell on 99 three times, with all instances coming in ODI cricket, the most by a batter in the 50-over format. Sachin is also the only cricketer in the world to dismiss on the edge of the milestone 3 times across all formats.
Sourav Ganguly’s two dismissals on 99 came in Tests, the most among Indian batters and the joint-most among all batters.
One of Ganguly’s dismissals (against England) came as India’s Test captain. MS Dhoni is the other skipper to get out on 99 against the same opposition in the same format.
Dhoni also kept the wickets at that time, making him one of the three Indian wicketkeepers to get out on 99. Rahul Dravid was the first keeper with a dismissal on 99 in ODIs, while Rishabh Pant is the recent casualty in Tests.
Pankaj Roy was the first-ever Indian batter to get out on the score of 99 in international cricket. He fell short of a hundred against Australia in the 1959 Delhi Test. Roy is also the lone Indian batter to get out on a duck and 99 in the same Test match.
Kris Srikkanth, meanwhile, was the first Indian to record the unfortunate dismissal in ODIs. England’s Mike Gatting got him out LBW on 99 in the 1984 Cuttack ODI.
Murali Vijay is the only Indian batter to get out on 99 in the fourth innings of a Test match. He suffered the dismissal against Australia in the 2014 Adelaide Test.
Tendulkar has recorded the most dismissals in the 90s (90 to 99) among Indian batters across all formats. He got out in the 90s a record 27 times, the most by a batter in all cricket! No other batter has more than 20 instances. Here is a list of all Sachin Tendulkar 90s scores in both Tests and ODIs.
Virender Sehwag is the only Indian batter to remain not out on 99. A deliberate no-ball from Sri Lanka’s Suraj Randiv meant Sehwag missed a well-deserved hundred while India reached the 171-run target in the 2010 Dambulla ODI.
Mohammad Azharuddin and KL Rahul are the two Indian batters to get out on 199 in Tests.
