Indian players with most matches against a single team
History has been witness to some gripping contests between specific Indian cricketers and select teams
2. Sachin Tendulkar [109 vs Sri Lanka (25 Tests, 84 ODIs)]
The rivalry against neighbours Sri Lanka was in a league of its own during Sachin's playing days. In the 36 innings played against the Lankans, Sachin has never gotten out for a duck. Out of all the major Test-playing nations, Sachin averaged the most against Sri Lanka in Tests (60.45).
When it comes to ODIs, Sachin has scored eight hundreds and 17 half-centuries against them. There have been a lot of matches where Sachin has shouldered the burden of the batting order on himself and played out of his skin against Sri Lanka, the first semifinal against Sri Lanka during the 1996 World Cup being one of the most prominent examples of the same. The otherwise-indomitable spin attack of Sri Lanka would be comfortably dealt with by Sachin on almost all occasions.
